Urban Study on the former PSA Site in Aulnay-sous-Bois

An urban study mission for the revitalization of the former PSA site in Aulnay-sous-Bois has been entrusted to the Urbastudio team. The departure of PSA from the Aulnay-sous-Bois site in 2013 and the arrival of line 15 of the Grand Paris Express in the area are catalysts for the economic and urban transformation of the northern part of the commune.

How can we transition from a single-function site to a multi-functional site? How can we encourage the establishment of businesses that create jobs? How can we open up the site and improve its accessibility? How can we develop soft mobility? How can we reduce soil sealing and reintroduce landscape features? How can we promote synergies with nearby business areas (ZA Paris Nord, O’Garonor)? Finally, and most importantly, how can we adapt the site to climate change and integrate it into a logic of resilience and sustainability?

A territory lacking coherence that has developed opportunistically since the departure of PSA
The PSA site is located in the heart of the northeastern quadrant of the Île-de-France region. This area, known for its rich industrial heritage, has a strategic metropolitan location and holds immense development opportunities.
