How Paris Plans To Become The Greenest City In Europe By 2030
Paris’ Grand Plan to Become Europe’s Largest Transport Project
The Grand Paris Express -Biggest Transport Project in Europe
Paris is known for its food, culture, megaprojects and landmarks. But few people know about the big problems of Paris, such as the lack of green spaces and the poor air quality. It has the fourth highest level of mortality due to lack of green space among any European capital.
All of this is going to change as this popular French city wants to have the title of the greenest city in Europe with an ambitious plan. This is a very big challenge and the Grand Paris Express will be one of the important factors that will help Paris reach this goal.
So, let’s see what the Paris plan is and what is the Grand Paris Express megaproject that is so important Paris has a plan to become Europe’s greenest city by 2030, by reducing car traffic, increasing bike lanes and public transport, planting more trees and gardens, and creating urban forests.
A possible benchmark could be the World Health Organization’s guidelines on access to green space, which recommend at least 0.5 hectares of green space within 300 meters linear distance of every home. Currently, more than 60% of urban residents in Europe lack this level of access.
According to a study by the World Cities Culture Forum, Paris ranks low among European cities in terms of public green space, with only 9.5% of its land area dedicated to parks, gardens, and other greenery. This is far lower than other European capitals such as Vienna (45.5%), Madrid (35%), Rome (34.8%), and London (33%).
Another study by the Barcelona’s Institute for Global Health also found that Paris has the fourth-highest level of mortality connected to lack of green space of any European capital. If Paris can’t achieve this goal and does not have enough green space, As for the next
City that will follow Paris’s greenest city, there are many candidates in Europe that are already pursuing green initiatives and policies. Some of the cities that rank high in terms of green spaces, public transport, and environmental quality
If you’ve enjoyed it so far, hit the like button because it helps a lot to show our videos to more people Making Paris greener is not an easy task, as the city faces several challenges, such as: – The lack of public green space and the difficulty of retrofitting older buildings with sustainable features.
– The resistance of some car users and taxi drivers to the reduction of traffic lanes and the ban of diesel and petrol cars. If Paris achieves these goals, it will certainly be a more attractive and livable city for its residents and visitors.
Paris is divided into 20 arrondissements (districts), which are numbered from 1 to 20 in a clockwise spiral from the center of the city. the 12th arrondissement is the greenest district in Paris, as it has the largest area of green spaces, including the Bois de Vincennes, the Parc de Bercy, and the Promenade Plantée.
Other districts that are also contributing to Paris’s green transformation are the 7th and 8th arrondissements, where the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Élysées are located. These iconic landmarks are undergoing renovations to reduce their environmental impact and enhance their attractiveness. For example, the Eiffel Tower has installed wind turbines, solar panels, and rainwater
Collectors to partially power its operations. The Champs-Élysées is pedestrianized once a month and will be turned into a park for the 2024 Olympic Games. Paris is pursuing many ways and works to become the greenest city in Europe by 2030. Some of the main initiatives are:
– Reducing car traffic and promoting cycling and walking. Paris has created hundreds of kilometers of bike lanes, pedestrianized major roads and plazas, and banned diesel and petrol vehicles by 2024 and 2030 respectively. – Increasing green spaces and urban forests.
Paris plans to plant more than 170,000 trees, create four new urban forests near iconic landmarks, and cover 50 percent of the city with planted areas by 2030. And they will also build some green spaces and parks near the Eiffel Tower and other important places in the city to help achieve this goal.
Because it will be good for attracting tourism and for the people of Paris – Expanding public transport and renewable energies. Paris is working on the Grand Paris Express, a new metro network that will connect the suburbs and reduce emissions.
And now we come to one of the most important projects in Paris, which is one of the most important ways to reach the greenest city in Europe and will also transport millions of people in Paris every day. Before that, please subscribe to our channel and open the bell on the side
Let’s go to the 45-billion-dollar mega project The Grand Paris Express is a group of new rapid transit lines being built in the Île-de-France region of France. The project comprises four new lines for Paris Métro, plus extensions of existing Lines 11 and 14.
A total of 200 kilometres (120 mi) of new track and 68 new stations are to be added, serving a projected 2 million passengers a day. that will involve digging tunnels, laying tracks, building stations, and installing systems for a new automatic metro network.
It will require the use of advanced engineering techniques, such as tunnel boring machines, prefabricated segments, and modular construction. The Grand Paris Express lines are designed to connect the suburbs of Paris without passing through the city center, creating a more polycentric and sustainable urban network.
The lines are circular or orbital, while the extensions are radial. The lines are numbered 15, 16, 17, and 18, following the convention of the existing Métro lines. The estimated cost of the Grand Paris Express is around €38 billion (about $45 billion), but it could increase due to risks and contingencies.
The history of this project goes back to the 19th century – The idea of creating a new metro network to connect the suburbs of Paris, when Napoleon III envisioned a circular railway around the city. – In the 20th century, several plans were proposed to improve the mobility and accessibility
Of the Île-de-France region, but none of them were fully implemented due to political, financial, and technical challenges. finally – In 2007, President Nicolas Sarkozy launched the Grand Paris project, which aimed to transform Paris into a global metropolis and a model of sustainable development.
The Grand Paris Express is expected to open in stages, starting with the Line 11 extension in Spring 2024 and through 2030. As you can see, the map shows the existing Métro lines in dark colors and the Grand Paris Express lines in light colors.
The stations are marked with circles, and the ones with white dots are interchange stations. The map also shows the expected opening dates of each section of the Grand Paris Express lines However, Paris is also part of the Île-de-France region, which is divided into eight departments: Paris, Essonne, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, Seine-et-Marne, Val-de-Marne, Val-d’Oise and
Yvelines. If we want to know The Grand Paris Express’s following lines and completion dates: – Line 15: A circular line that will run through the suburbs of Paris, connecting with lines 1 to 14 of the Paris Métro.
The southern section of the line is planned to open in 2025, and the completed line is planned to open in the early 2030s. – Line 16: A line that will link the Noisy-Champs station to the Saint-Denis Pleyel station, crossing the eastern suburbs of Paris.
The line is expected to open in 2024, in time for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. – Line 17: A line that will run from the Saint-Denis Pleyel station to Le Mesnil-Amelot, serving the northern suburbs of Paris and the Charles de Gaulle Airport.
The line is expected to open in 2024 for the first section, and in 2030 for the second section. – Line 18: A line that will run from Orly Airport to Versailles, serving the southern and western suburbs of Paris and the Paris-Saclay campus.
The line is expected to open in 2026 for the first section, and in 2030 for the second section. The Grand Paris Express will also extend the existing lines 11 and 14 of the Paris Métro. Line 11 will be extended from Mairie des Lilas to Rosny-Bois-Perrier, and line 14 will be
Extended from Saint-Lazare to Mairie de Saint-Ouen in the north, and from Olympiades to Orly Airport in the south. Both extensions are expected to be completed by 2024. The most remarkable thing about this vast infrastructure program is how virtually invisible
It is: apart from a few open construction excavations across the whole of Paris, it is largely happening quietly underground. What do you think, can Paris really be the greenest city in Europe by 2030 or not? Write your thoughts in the comments.
And continue with one of the most important mega projects in the world, which is very interesting.
