IN MORE DEPTH...WHAT WE SAW
We startedin thecentre of<strong>Paris</strong>......highlighting polarization and the need foraffordable housing...and ended up inthe suburbs
Urban planning now aims to redress theimbalances through mixed use (ZACs) andsmaller blocks
The regional strategic plan promotes mixed usedevelopment on industrial sites
A network of new tramways is reinforcing theregional express network (RER) and Metro
“The railway owners are thinking ahead, ‘we can be a retailer,developer, a landlord, provide entertainment, shopping...”Investment in the railway is part funded byrevamping stations and turning them intoshopping malls
The railway out of Gare de’Austerlitz has beenbridged over creating a much larger site
The city council has set up a development agency;SEMAPA, to develop key sites
<strong>Paris</strong> Rive Gauche spreads out to the Peripheriquethat circles <strong>Paris</strong>
Reclaimed land is being developed in nine phaseswith three new quarters
The Austerlitz quarter is home to the station
The Tolbiac quarter features one of Mitterrand'sGrand projects; the National Library
In the Massena quarter, the university has reused oldstructures and is spread among seven buildings
Blocks are designed as open plots, with landscaperunning through

Pedestrian bridges and cycle ways have improvedlocal accessibility to the new development
The old and new are meshed together; roads,shop fronts and steps to achieve change in level
Parking is limited and typically underground
The final phase is to be a high density officequarter with the only tower blocks
We left Rive Gauche and headed through Bercy Park,located along an old railway line. Parks like this andLa Villette are really helping to change images
From Bercy we headed to another open space;Viaduc des Artes, <strong>Paris</strong>. The raised park issurrounded by housing.
Viaduc des Artes Promenade Plantee

DAY TWOafternoonWe arrived at <strong>Paris</strong> Nord Est. by Metro at La Villetteand were met by a dilapidated scene.
Only minutes walk away, Zac Claude Bernard gives anentirely different impression;Crisp, clean and thriving.
Mixed Tenure housing overlooks gardens and sedumroofs
The BNP Paribas Zac Claude Bernard developmentsecures ‘concerted investment’ on the edge.
It benefits from an easily accessible location
Housing and offices are mixed together
Offices shield housing from the motorway
...and a roadside forest is proposed
ZAC Claude Bernard is here...and a roadside forest is proposed along theperipherique
An old people’s care home forms part of the mix
Why Zac Claude Bernard has succeeded
