grande soddisfazione dei pedoni.<br />

Sin dall’ inizio, l’Epad ha voluto<br />

associare degli artisti alla<br />

creazione di spazi publici.<br />

Oltre sessanta opere monumentali<br />

compongono il più grande museo di<br />

arte contemporanea all’ aperto.<br />

Anche il «Parvis» accoglie grandi<br />

manifestazioni culturali e<br />

prestigiosi eventi.<br />

Per quanto riguarda i servizi,<br />

«La Défense» offre un’ampia scelta<br />

siaper la comunicazione (con<br />

l’autostrada informatica, rete di<br />

fibre ottichee un hotspot wifi su<br />

tutti gli spazi publici), sia per la<br />

prossimità (spazi per conferenze<br />

e per congressi, centro di<br />

smistamento postale specifico) .<br />

Il centro Commerciale «Les Quatre<br />

Temps» propone numerosi e vari<br />

negozi e luoghi di divertimento con<br />

l « UGC Ciné Citè» e le sue 6 sale<br />

di cinema.<br />

Ma è senz’altro la comodità<br />

eccezionale dei transporti che<br />

spiega il grande successo della<br />

Défense: RER, Metro, tram, autobus<br />

che l’ 0% delle persone impiegate<br />

nel quartiere di affari prendono<br />

quotidianamente.<br />

Lo Stato ha deciso di dare un<br />

nuovo slancio alla Défense con la<br />

costruzione di nuovi edifizi fra i quali<br />

una torre faro dall’ architettura<br />

audace, la ricostruzione delle<br />

torri più anziane la creazione<br />

di un complesso di alloggi ed il<br />

miglioramento dei servizi, per<br />

quanto riguarda i transporti .<br />

«La Défense» ritrova dunque oggi<br />

l’ambizione che prevalse alla<br />

suaideazione .<br />

FIRST EUROPEAN BUSINESS<br />

CENTER<br />

With three million square meters<br />

of offices La Défense is the first<br />

european business quarter.<br />

Some minutes away from the center<br />

of Paris, it welcomes 500<br />

firms and more than 50.000 employées<br />

.<br />

L’ EPAD which has conceived and<br />

realized it assures its dynamism as<br />

far as development, services and<br />

the quality of life are concerned.<br />

La Défense is an incontestable<br />

success.<br />

The reasons of its success are<br />

numerous. But it is the constant<br />

will of the State to develop this<br />

operation which has been its best<br />

garantee.<br />

The quality and originality of its<br />

planning have made its fame.<br />

The long pedestrian esplanade is<br />

the single achieved exemple to separate<br />

pedestrians moving along<br />

from vehicular traffic according<br />

to Le Corbusier idea.<br />

On a length of more than one kilometre<br />

and a width of more than<br />

00 metres, squares, public gardens<br />

, fountains, green areas succeed<br />

one another for the pedestrians’<br />

delight.<br />

L’EPAD has very early cared to associate<br />

artists to the public spaces<br />

conception. More than sixty monumental<br />

works compose the largest<br />

open air museum of contemporary<br />

art .<br />

«Le Parvis» is the setting of cultural<br />

meetings and prestigious events<br />

too.<br />

In the field of services, La Défense<br />

offers the widest range, regards<br />

to communication ( with the information<br />

motorway, optical fibre<br />

network, one hotspot wifi) but<br />

also as regards to proximity ( conferences<br />

and congresses spaces,<br />

dedicated sorting postal center.)<br />

The trade center «Les quatre temps»<br />

brings a complete gamut of<br />

shops and leisure with the» UGC<br />

Ciné Cité and its 6 cinemas.<br />

But it is of course its exceptional<br />

servicing in transport (RER,<br />

Tube, Tramway, buses) which was<br />

the decisive cause of the success<br />

of La Défense More than 0% of<br />

the people working in the business<br />

area take them daily.<br />

The State has decided to give a<br />

new breath to La Défense by the<br />

constructions of new buildings<br />

such as «a light house» of daring<br />

architecture, the reconstruction<br />

of the oldest tower blocks, the<br />

creation of complementary housing<br />

projects and the improvement<br />

of services, notably regards to<br />

transport.<br />

Today, La Défense finds again the<br />

ambition which prevalaid for its<br />

conception.
