Urban projects and Grand Paris Express stations, a comparative analysis of local strategies and processes of territorialization around railway station infrastructures
This communication is based on comparative and multi-sited field research that focuses on six-station districts soon to be served by the Grand Paris Express (GPE) network. The aim is to observe six distinct territorialization processes at work and to report on the different local strategies (communal, inter-communal) in the construction of housing policies based on six urban projects under construction, located within an 800-meter perimeter around the new GPE station. The GPE station districts are subject to disparate urban dynamics. The existing land contexts, the degree of interaction between urban governments, and the economic and political decisions they set guide singular local development strategies with differentiated socio-spatial impacts.
In this communication, I will first present the main issues raised by the current fieldwork on six local authority housing policy factories, based on policy referentials and semi-structured interviews.
Then, I will come back in a second time to the research I am conducting using the Sit@del database on the delivery of building permits at the parcel scale. This quantitative approach allows me to report on the current (2017-2020) and past (2013-2016) construction dynamics in the vicinity of the six stations studied, and the typology of authorized housing.
Finally, I will try to report on the different strategies of local actors. To what extent is the establishment of a GPE station taken into account in public action referential? What instruments are put in place to maintain public control over land, or regulate rents near the station? What types of social housing are built on the urban projects studied, etc.?
More broadly, I would like to conclude this communication on the new political oppositions in the Île-de-France region that the construction of the GPE seems to be updating.
