CHARACTERISATION<br />

3 Creil Agglomeration FR<br />

Creil Agglomeration gathers four middle-sized cities and 73.000<br />

inhabitants. At only 25 minutes from Paris by train, it is located in<br />

the Region of Picardie.<br />

Although it may be compared to a suburban city under the<br />

influence of Paris, its identity is quite different: surrounded by a<br />

very green landscape and by touristic and attractive cities<br />

(Chantilly, Compiègne, Amiens)<br />

It is an urban post-industrial agglomeration which benefits from a<br />

dynamic young population and from an outstanding situation at the<br />

crossroads of the railway network, main highways and the Oise<br />

river.<br />

After the industrial crisis of 70’s, Creil agglomeration has had to<br />

face an important urban and economic mutation which is still<br />

ongoing. In such a context, the future high-speed connection to the<br />

Roissy Charles de Gaulle <strong>HUB</strong> is a wonderful opportunity.<br />

LOCAL CHALLENGES<br />

The overlapping of different authorities interfering on specific objects such as a train<br />

station and the difficulty to obtain a quick decision to improve basic services, intermodal<br />

information and shared-tariffs.<br />

The position of medium-sized city does not help to be fairly considered by national<br />

authorities or societies.<br />

To negotiate and buy grounds that are owned by the railway authorities is very difficult<br />

(everywhere in France), yet, reorganizing a high-speed train station in a dense and<br />

urbanized city means being able to develop the city on these abandoned spaces.<br />

Understanding and anticipating the planned development of Great Paris is very difficult<br />

when the city is under its influence but not in its administrative region.<br />

To prepare long-term issues and find financial resources for it while at the same time<br />

having to cope with daily important improvement issues in the train stations and its<br />

neighbourhood.<br />

<strong>Mo</strong>neywise, to understand what financial public resources will be available in the next ten<br />

years to develop our project and/or how much private investment can we hope to create<br />

a real urban and social change.<br />
