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.
