€26⋅5bn Grand Paris metro expansion programme confirmed
12 March 2013
FRANCE: The government is to proceed with the project to build 200 km of new metro lines by 2030 to serve the outer suburbs of the capital, Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault announced in a speech given on March 6. Following a review of the programme inherited from the Sarkozy administration, Ayrault said that the Nouveau Grand Paris programme was ‘unprecedented in its ambition and it is funded’.
The Grand Paris Express project to build a network of orbital automatic metro lines now has a budget of €26⋅5bn, and Ayrault said that construction of the various routes would be launched in parallel. The first public inquiry is due to start later this year for work to start on Line 15 from Noisy-Champs to Pont-de-Sèvres in 2015.
This route should be in service by 2020 when work would be nearing completion on a further section of Line 15 from Noisy to Le Bourget and on Line 18 from Massy-Palaiseau to Saclay. To connect with these new orbital routes Line 11 of the Paris metro network is to be extended eastwards to Noisy-Champs, while Line 14 is be extended northwards to Saint-Denis-Pleyel and to Orly south of the capital.
The Nouveau Grand Paris programme also includes €7bn to improve existing routes by 2017, which is expected to create 57 000 jobs. This will include modernisation of RER lines B, C and D, extension of metro Line 4 to Montrouge by 2013 and the opening of light rail route T8 from Saint-Denis to Épinay and Villetaneuse in 2014. Refurbishment of the major interchange at Châtelet-Les Halles is planned for 2016, followed by the extension of metro Line 14 to Mairie de Saint-Ouen in 2017 and the construction of the Clichy – Montfermeil branch of light rail route T4.

on the one hand, paris proper is pretty much completely built out, forcing the government to develop transit infrastructure into the inner ring beyond the periferique as a means of guiding/funneling growth. on the other hand, with their collective hand forced, trust the french to bring urban core-level transit service to the new population centers, well beyond what you see in similar areas in the usa (silicon valley, for instance).
No, it's really not at all. Le sieur Minato is used to make a relevant point about that. It's gonna take hundreds of billion euros and decades to fit out the inner suburbs with the same kind of services as central Paris. So while infrastructures will be developed to upgrade the dense suburbs, central Paris will have to keep growing and increasing its density somehow. There's just no choice, grow or die. There's actually a bunch of possibilities of redevelopments and improvements within the very core, countless possible good or bad ideas.
i mean that paris is built out within the long-standing political and social constraints to development in paris- i don't think that i have to tell you that there are a very small number of sites where significant non-infill development could occur, and virtually none of it is in the core (arrondissements 1-12). if politics and parisians change, sure, paris could see developments in the core, but as it stands and, again, i don't need to tell you, the big development potential is along the peripherique, in reclaimed former industrial areas, maybe over some rail cuts. in this context, it makes a lot of sense to develop great transit infrastructure in the areas in which major development can occur without major barriers, as in the core.

Opening of the 303rd station of Paris metro.
It is the first time that the line 4 goes outside the city limits of Paris and the last extension of the line was in 1910, 103 years ago.
The ceiling is high but the platforms are quite narrow
