Clichy-Batignolles, Paris
Brownfield development in the middle of Paris
54 hectares 6500 inhabitants 12700 employees 560.000 m2
Diversity (Social) Housing M. Luther King Park Different sectors (incl. Courthouse)
Key aspects Clichy-Batignolles
Influence crisis limited on social housing and public space More difficulties with offices space and investment in housing Long term commitment from stakeholders is important
Consultation with stakeholders on all levels started early in the project. The private sector was crucial in financing as well as reaching high ambitions Energy experts were involved in the initiation phase already
Large park is finished first as a catalyst for sales of housing in the area
Lessons learned
General Eco-towns should have a strong identity, and offer a choice of
attractive places to live in a green and pleasant setting, which helps them to grow relatively fast
Theming and branding is important
Ecological ambitions Clear targets for saving natural resources in terms of energy,
water, waste and good land (not necessarily CO2 neutral)
Lessons learned
Planning: Support neighbourhood development through planning the social
infrastructure, such as health, education and meeting places, in parallel with the spatial masterplan
Shops and restaurants should be encouraged to move in early by low or rent free periods and the use of temporary spaces
Develop strong masterplans and design criteria which are adaptable over time but which are resistant to dumbing down
Draw on the strengths of existing conurbations and add to them, rather than draw resources away from them.
Lessons learned
Housing: Low to medium density (30-50/ha net) to enable family housing and
terraced houses or small walk up blocks of flats or maisonettes
Balanced population, mix of housing reflecting demand in the wider area
Community closely engaged in building up the social infrastructure. This means that social housing for rent should not account for more than 20 – 30% of the total, with other forms of intermediate housing accounting for the balance of affordable housing. Social housing should be indistinguishable (to avoid stigma)
Achieve a balanced range of tenures and house types with the ability to move easily from one to the other
Lessons learned
Finance: Market serviced sites to a multiplicity of builders with presales
agreements, including different forms of tenures to speed occupation and cut costs
Infrastructure: Build on or add to committed infrastructure such as rail and bus routes
rather than start from scratch Make public transport, walking and cycling options the most attractive
options through design and financial incentives
Lessons learned
Participation & cooperative governance: Ecological achievements are not solely a matter of installation of technical
infrastructure but also a question of residents commitment; thus inhabitants should be involved from an early stage
Allow sufficient programme time for stakeholder and community engagement
Develop long term strategies for community development and management which encourage behavioural change
Eco-towns should enjoy local authority support and are developed by agencies with a long-term interest, and with active civic leadership.
