Orly is not easy to navigate as the city doubles down on urban renewal and the creation of new neighborhoods. For a clearer view and to engage residents, the House of Projects opened on Wednesday afternoon, Place Le Corbusier.
This 156 square meter venue offers permanent exhibitions, meeting rooms, space for young children, workshops, etc. The interactive digital model on a giant screen enables the presentation of future construction and its progress. You can also wear a virtual reality headset to immerse yourself in this futuristic landscape.
This young representative elected to the Children’s Municipal Council did not need to be asked to test it: ‘Wow, that’s cool! Burst, his eyes moving on a street in Orly. The cost of the virtual 3D model: 40 thousand euros, privately funded by Anru and Investissement d’ avenir As for the building, its purchase in the department cost 560,000 euros, including 270,000 from Anru and Île-de-France Mobilités.
Our city is developing.
“Our city is developing with urban renewal programmes, trams and soon metro 14 as well as two new districts on the banks of the Seine and near the airport,” summarizes Christine Janodet (DVG), Mayor of Orly. In total, 4,070 housing units (mostly social) will be built in the coming years.
1000 will be created as part of Anru 2 (Commonly known as NPNRU, NDRL’s New National Urban Renewal Program) and will be accompanied by several facilities: a new school cluster along D 5, demolition and reconstruction of the Marcel-Cachin School, construction of a media library, gardens, etc., explains a local official in Anru.
“At the time, we built these big rails, which we criticize today. But they served well and had modern amenities, with bathrooms rediscovered for many, recalls Deputy Governor Martin Laquis. But time is running out. We have to reinvent the city. And it’s not free. All are funded. This is through your taxes.”
“Two ZACs will also be developed, one addition to the Town Hall. The ZAC des Carrières, operated by EPA Orsa, will create 770 housing units, primarily in place of the brownfields. The first demolitions have begun. Then there will be the ZAC Sénia (Editor’s note: Also called Plato 14) which will include 2,300 homes, activities, equipment, green spaces, etc. “
Promoters who will intervene on Wednesday signed the Orly Sustainable Building Charter. It will be applied to both new construction and heavy renovations. For example, it will mandate a variety of apartment sizes, a mixture of private property and HLM, a certain quality of habitat and locations with low nuisance for residents.
