4 million square metres built on desired 2

Marne-la - Valley, the new town in the Parisian, prepares to host several flagship projects. In April 2007, after the commissioning of the TGV Est, its station will become the first in the correspondence of high-speed trains, to the whole of the territory and beyond, via the Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport. Already well provided in public facilities, the city enrich the end of a library of security m2 at the Val of Europe; in 2007 will be delivered a boating centre directed by Marne et Gondoire, and then in 2010 a hospital of 65.700 m2 allowing 460 beds, valued at EUR 95 million.

If 2,000 dwellings by year built even in an environment preserved by 3.800 ha of green spaces, a break is marked in the urbanization of Bussy-Saint-Georges while other sectors such as relay Chanteloup and Montevrain with 3,000 planned housing and 28,000 m2 devoted to the person and home equipment. Construction is expected to fall to 1,500 a year for 2006-2009, to wait for job creation. With 85 jobs for 100 active residents, marne-la - Vallée is better than the Seine-et-Marne (70 jobs) but less well than Paris and the small Crown (between 120 and 140 jobs).

"There is a risk of social fragility in the term", said Jean-Pierre Weiss, Director General of public institutions to develop EpaMarne and EpaFrance. The recent decision to build an international school in Noisy-le-Grand is an asset to attract business, and the development of the University. It should also be to complete the network of inland roads of marne-la - Vallée, strengthen the workstations in the East of the city bus, not insured by the RATP, requiring a heavy financial contribution of local communities. Motorway A4 and RER A are then saturated that a quarter of the city remains to develop.

Persistent dynamism

Marne-la - Valley was 50 for the offices, with 1.4 million square metres built on desired 2.8 and 70-75 for housing. If it is possible to still build 12,000 to 15,000 dwellings, EpaMarne owner of 1,500 hectares and EpaFrance of 1,430 acres, their production is subject to business tax revenues, the specific aid granted by the State in the new towns existing more.

"Even if we can't reproduce a unique operation as the arrival of Disney, expected interesting settlements as logistics activity purveyor of 350 jobs in Bussy-Saint-Georges, the extension on 20,000 m2 of the shopping centre Val d'Europe and Vallée Shopping, as well as in the term a Congress Centre, a nature village worn by Disney and Pierre & Vacances with 3,500 jobs at the key".continues to the head. The pole of competitiveness "city and sustainable mobility" is also very promising. Cité Descartes, first French pole in the civil and urban engineering, there is room for 100,000 m2 for research.

The housing market remains dynamic and prices climb: 3,300 euros per metre square in the collective of 350,000 to 650,000 euros for single-family homes. The housing consists of 75 of apartments and 25 of homes. Two hundred transactions are saved per month. The high is very popular.

The surfaces of offices placed in 2005 represent 30.220 m2. Marne-la - Valley still suffers from competition from the small Crown. Encouraging signs: buildings are partly rented before delivery and repeat transactions of large surfaces. Close to Paris, Noisy-le-Grand is this (14.605 m2) market while Val d'Europe, 40 km from the capital, barely off the ground. Benefiting from a secure environment, the rental values are high (EUR 200 m2/year). If 2005 was revealed better for this sector with 2.500 m2 leased in Arlington Park and 1.250 m2 in the Galilee in Serris, Val d'Europe is expected to reach maturity in 10 years. The commercialization of space activities (100.596 m2) is on the rise, Val Maubuée is awarding 50 of the surface.

This is not the least of the challenges for the city stretched in length to keep consistency despite a progressive return to the common law, a sociology different depending on the sector (23.9 per cent of housing around Noisy-Le-Grand, 37.3 in Val Maubuée, 15.3 in the Val de Bussy and 12.1 in Val d'Europe) and an architecture which is not less : the West is bold (Plaza de Toros de Picasso de Manolo Nunez, palacio of Abraxas of Bofill, construction on slab), Val Maubuée Garden-City, Bussy-Saint-Georges city in the U.S. and Europe neo-arrondissment Val.
