Between 1973 and 2008, the presence of the Peugeot-Citroën car factory on the site logically placed the town of Aulnay-sous-Bois on a metropolitan economic scale.

Today, the cards reshuffled by the arrival of line 16 of the Grand Paris Express and the major changes in our industrial model, require that the reconquest of this part of the city be done differently; This is a far cry from the model of the large monofunctional plates that usually organize territories bordering heavy infrastructures.

From a site that was once major in terms of its motorway access, a system of urban hooks and heterogeneous, complementary addresses has been created based on the constitution of a hybrid territory.

An invisible framework, the new metro’s main line of force places the old factory on a new square on the metropolitan chessboard, giving it real urban potential.
