"The suburbs influence Paname, the 93 influences Paname ..." The refrain from Medina, Fianso, and other Ile-de-France rappers in the song "Grand-Paris" becomes a political reality. This Tuesday, in Pantin, Anne Hidalgo, the outgoing mayor (PS) of Paris, candidate for her re-election, presented her platform "Greater Paris in common", surrounded by a dozen PS and PCF suburban councilors - including Tony Di Martino (Bagnolet), Bertrand Kern (Pantin), Olivier Klein (Clichy-sous-Bois), in particular, for the 93. The deputy offfortville-Vitry Luc Carvounas, the mayors of Fresnes, Cachan, or Boissy-Saint -Léger (Val-de-Marne), or Nadège Azzaz, candidate for Chatillon (Hauts-de-Seine), are among the signatories *. Objective: to work together, beyond the borders of their municipality, on mobility, environmental or housing projects.
"We have long realized that our destinies are linked and that there are subjects on which we cannot not work together," said Anne Hidalgo.
Supervise rents
Thus, among the joint projects envisaged, the transformation of the Portes de Paris into large squares, to encourage the passage of residents on foot or by bicycle, the construction of segments of an Express Bicycle Network and green networks to cross the suburbs on foot . Metropolitan rents are also on the menu. Other ideas: the transformation of the ring road and urban highways into green boulevards, the creation of around twenty bathing sites on the Seine, the Marne and the canals.
"What I like about this approach is that, finally, we don't think of the metropolis in offices, but through the prism of concrete projects, those which concern the inhabitants", welcomes Stéphane Troussel, PS president of the departmental council du 93, elected at La Courneuve, and signatory to the agreement.
"Erase inequalities"
The means, too, of "erasing inequalities": "Who suffers primarily from the effects of global warming? Fragile populations! In periods of high pollution, it is the Bagnolet interchange that reaches new heights, he continues. In this, working hand in hand with the capital on the reduction of the place of the car, the creation of green spaces, among others, is essential. "
The only signatory city managed by the PCF, Montreuil sees this agreement as an opportunity to consider once and for all the future of the door of the same name. "Here, we are finally talking about a large square that will link, by 2024, the twentieth arrondissement of Paris with the Croix de Chavaux sector," explains the planning assistant, GayLord Le Checker. For 20 years, we have had the right to projects that were only designed as highways. ” This "new plan" provides in particular for the maintenance of the chip market and the installation of a lane reserved for soft traffic.
