Marne-la-Vallée
Investing in a stable, visible, secure and high quality area
Marne-la-Vallée has everything needed to attract private investment: stability, visibility, security and quality.
Over the past 12 months, work on 1,700 residential units and more than 100,000 sq.m. of office space has begun,
generating €500 million in investment. This stability, visibility, security and quality consolidate the confidence that
this strategic area inspires in its partners.
Stability
Visibility
The business of Marne-la-Vallée's public development
authorities has been maintained at a high level for 5 years.
This stability is the reflection of an area in which investments are globally well site.
Marne-la-Vallée has a diversified and renewed land supply.
Since 2011, no fewer than 18 Integrated Development
Zones have been created or modified.
In 2012 as in 2013, significant progress has been made in
housing, allowing an annual production rate of 1,500
units on average to be maintained, in a complex Ile-deFrance region and national environment.
In the office sector, more than 100,000 sq.m. of office
space has been signed in the last twelve months,
confirming Marne-la-Vallée's position among Grand
Paris' main service sector destinations.
These results confirm the strategic sector role of the urban
innovation cluster, the major eco-neighbourhoods and
the international urban and tourist clusters.

the urban innovation cluster
• the Sycomore Integrated Development Zone in Bussy
Saint-Georges
• the Marne Europe Integrated Development Zone in
Villiers-sur-Marne, which is to accommodate a Grand
Paris Express (GPE) station in 2020
• the Rucherie and Lamirault-Croissy Integrated Development Zone which will provide a total of 112 hectares
for economic development
• Villages Nature Integrated Development Zone
• and all the many other Integrated Development Zones
in Val d'Europe that contribute to the development of
this sector's new development phase.
This rate consolidates the supply and allows the completion of major projects for the area, with a favourable
impact on prices.

Security
Quality
In constant interaction with local communities, the Public
development authorities (PDAs) offer legally stable land
complying with land tenure rights.
Through the innovation that permeates through the
area, in sustainable development in particular, the urban
landscape developed in Marne-la-Vallée by the PDAs is
exemplary.
The placing on the market of this new land, whether for the
construction of business districts, eco-neighbourhoods or
business parks, is accompanied by significant investment
in work from the public planner: servicing, transport
links, high-quality planning... This expenditure has been
growing since 2011 thereby confirming that the development authority is committed to a policy for the future
planning in the short and medium term of development
areas.
All this provides all the public and private stakeholders in
the area with the security needed for decision taking.
The urban and architectural quality of projects is given
special attention and can be seen through the selected
achievements. These requirements are stated, in particular, through the urban planning guidelines laid down
by the PDAs and their general requirements for all the
major stages in the completion of a project: design work
prior to delivering a programme, including the filing of
building permits and the completion of the work.
They contribute to qualifying Marne-la-Vallée, and providing it a high-quality, consistent environment making it
a good place to live and work in, and thus invest in.
AN URBAN INNOVATION CLUSTER
Descartes cluster: the leading sustainable city R&D cluster in France
With 18,000 students, 3,000 scientists and engineers and more than 50 research laboratories, the Descartes cluster
is now the leading centre for research and higher education dedicated to sustainable cities in France. Its significant
development potential, through its two new neighbourhoods - Cité Descartes and Marne Europe - makes it a unique
growth location for sustainable cities.
This urban innovation cluster aims to become the global
benchmark for sustainable city design, construction and
management. Its aim is to allow the creation of links
between research laboratories, universities and ‘‘grande
école’’ prestigious graduate schools, businesses and public services to ensure the dissemination of innovations
and the development of a business sector strategy. It
now accommodates:
• 25% of French sustainable cities R&D
• major research and innovation institutes such as
IFSTTAR, CSTB, FCBA, Efficacity, etc.
• innovative research projects that combine public and
private actors
• the ADVANCITY competitiveness cluster, the only sustainable cities cluster in France
• several hundred companies
The support of the Advancity competitiveness cluster
and all local actors should allow new businesses to be
established in connection with green building, sustainable mobility, management of urban services or energy
efficiency. As drivers of growth and creators of jobs for
the future, they should provide the ability to develop
solutions for meeting the challenges of tomorrow's cities.
An international level campus
This major research and expertise cluster is among the leading worldwide in terms of size and interdisciplinarity. This
major research and expertise centre can be compared with
the most widely recognised international centres such as the
Delft University of Technology and the University of Berkeley,
in California, through:
• its 18 ‘‘grande école’’ prestigious graduate schools
• its number of students, teachers, researchers and engineers
• the provision of appropriate training for all skill levels,
from undergraduate to PhD
• international partnerships with the universities of
Tokyo, Berkeley and Tongji in Shanghai, with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Georgia
Tech, the Philadelphia energy hub and the World Bank.
A cluster serving the area's projects
The Descartes cluster is systematically in all major innovative projects through a partnership with EPAMARNE and
local communities. By way of example: the smart grid project in Cité Descartes with the industrialists of the Institut
Efficacity and CSTB, the large scale deployment with
ADEME's support of a network of electric vehicle car sharing
platforms, the design of a positive energy GPE station in
partnership with the Société du Grand Paris and the Institut
Efficacity, the analysis of utilisation in eco-neighbourhoods
with the Futurs urbains laboratory of excellence, etc.

The emergence of two neighbourhoods
The Marne Europe neighbourhood
The significant development potential of this cluster and
its strategic location contributed to the Prime Minister's
decision to make the "Pont de Sèvres - Noisy-Champs"
line 15 the first GPE line to enter service. The building by
2020 of two automatic GPE stations, destined to become
the region's major interconnection nodes, enhances the
attractiveness of this booming polarity.
The Bry-Villiers-Champigny station is to be sited in the
future "Marne Europe" neighbourhood. It opens up development prospects that will be of great benefit to the
entire sector, in particular in terms of transport infrastructures: interconnecting with the RER E line, development
of a public transport system on a dedicated right of
way, etc.
Cité Descartes
Over and above the GPE station hub, the foundations for the development of a new housing and
sustainable business neighbourhood that includes
economic activities, housing, public facilities, shops,
etc. are thus laid. These services will contribute to the
quality of life of residents and will represent a potential
of more than 3,000 jobs.
With its potential 840,000 sq.m. of land to be built, the
neighbourhood to be deployed around the NoisyChamps station - designed by Ateliers Lion Associés - thus
includes the building of homes, offices, shops, services
and public amenities that will make this new centrality
a true place of economic and social vitality. All these
developments aim to:
• accommodate service sector companies in the business
sector of the Descartes cluster
The service sector siting will benefit from the significant
"window effect" on the A4 highway, marking the entrance
into the Marne-la-Vallée area.
• build housing units with ease of access to transport
facilities allowing workers to live in the neighbourhood where they work
• offer services and shops that will provide a high quality
of life for users of the sector
• produce a low carbon footprint neighbourhood using
the best renewable energy mix
Efficacity
This R&D institute, located in the Bienvenüe building in
Cité Descartes, specialising in energy efficiency in urban
environments, brings together the French leaders in the
design, construction and management of sustainable
cities in both the private and public sectors.

MAJOR ECO-NEIGHBOURHOODS
An incentive and innovative housing policy to meet the needs of residents
of the Ile-de-France region
Meeting the housing needs of residents of the Ile-de-France region is the central objective of Marne-la-Vallée's
development. For this purpose, and to provide residential opportunities suitable for all, more than 1,500 new homes
are built each year: apartment blocks and individual houses, social housing and luxury private residences, on a rental
or home ownership basis. All in a high-quality environment with a commitment to sustainable development.
The Montévrain eco-neighbourhood
Marne-la-Vallée accommodates 4,500 new residents
each year. To respond to their aspirations, nearly 2,000
new homes are built each year. By 2020, 13,700 housing
units will have been built in the area, primarily around the
future Grand Paris Express (GPE) stations, in the Bussy
Saint-Georges and Montévrain eco-neighbourhoods, and
in Val d'Europe.
Developing an exemplary urban landscape
Marne-la-Vallée's exemplarity ambition is reflected in the
projects selected for the area's development. Innovation
is to focus on environmental aspects and on the type of
products offered, the seeking of social and functional
diversity, the use of constructive processes limiting
construction nuisance and co-ownership maintenance
and bringing about energy savings, the management
considered (for social rented housing or specific residences), the daily operation of buildings, and the curbing
of service charges for residents.
Meeting present and future needs
Today's families undergo changes. Blended families, longer education and an ageing population are all trends that
call for new housing proposals. The housing and buildings
proposed need to provide a better response to the needs
of residents throughout their lives.
Promote residential opportunities for households
A balance between owners and tenants in free-market
housing and social housing is sought on the scale of
neighbourhoods and, if possible, of each operation.
Strengthening social and age diversity is also a priority.
The public authorities are extensively involved in the
construction of social housing and include at least 25%
in all their major development operations. The building
of housing at controlled prices is also promoted to provide programmes for sale at more accessible prices. To
promote this policy, the PDAs adapt the level of land sale
prices.
Respecting the balance between the urban
environment and nature
Marne-la-Vallée has exceptional natural assets: the Marne
river in the north, a vast wooded and forest space covering 20% of the area, a nature valued for its ecological,
social and economic functions. This results from a desire
to avoid turning land into built-up areas and combat
urban sprawl.
Integrating an eco-neighbourhood process
on a large scale
Marne-la-Vallée's major development projects include the
best know-how in terms of sustainable development and
are now designed in accordance with an eco-neighbourhood approach. This brings about urban intensification
which encourages the use of public transport and leaves
plenty of open spaces.

biomass). Among other innovations, this exemplary
neighbourhood will use eco-friendly materials, and will
opt for efficient waste management and for the phytoremediation of rainwater.
The Montévrain eco-neighbourhood
This eco-neighbourhood of 2,500 homes, which also
has an arrangement with the state, displays remarkable functional diversity with its ambitious residential
and economic planning. In addition to numerous local
shops, a service sector of 150,000 sq.m. is to be developed
at the foot of the RER station.
Extending over 153 hectares, this eco-neighbourhood is
organised around a 20-hectare park and an agro-urban
centre where local agriculture is to be developed (market
gardening, tree cultivation, flower cultivation, allotments,
etc.).
Val d’Europe
Icade/FRG housing programme in Cité Descartes
This vast urban project is being developed. It will be gradually incorporated in the Descartes campus in a new
dense, diversified neighbourhood building on the GPE
future station. Its ambitious programme includes the
eventual building of 4,000 housing units, a 400,000 sq.m.
service sector and 150,000 sq.m. of business premises,
shops and amenities developed in accordance with the
"city/forest" concept including the vast woodlands surrounding City Descartes.
A new phase in the economic and urban development of
Val d'Europe is under way. It will allow a major residential
development of almost 5,000 homes and will have a
strong economic dimension with more than 200,000 sq.m.
of offices and shops, and about 40 hectares of business
activities. An action plan for sustainable development is
being drawn up, with particular emphasis on functional
diversity, the development of public transport in relation
with Chessy train station hub, district heating and management of water and waste.
The Sycomore eco-neighbourhood in Bussy SaintGeorges
This new area with 4,500 homes, 25% of which are social
housing units, is the largest eco-neighbourhood in France
having entered into an agreement with the state. It was
designed as a neighbourhood with short distances
through public transport and soft mobility. Its buildings
will provide energy performance in excess of RT 2012
and use renewable energy (wood-powered boiler plant,

AN INTERNATIONAL, TOURIST AND URBAN CLUSTER
The leading tourist destination in Europe continues to grow
A new phase in the economic and urban development of Val d'Europe has been achieved with the finalisation of a
new operational development phase known as phase IV. It requires the adoption of a detailed programme, and the
creation and modification of integrated development zones.
This development will have a significant economic impact on the Marne-la-Vallée area with more than $2 billion in
public and private investments which will allow, by 2020, the construction of 3,500 housing units and several hundred
thousand sq.m. of offices, shops and business premises and the construction of the Villages Nature project.
The Val d'Europe urban centre
For the last 25 years, Marne-la-Vallée has been developed
in the Val d'Europe area through an exemplary and
unique agreement of its kind between the State, the Euro
Disney company and local communities.
Strengthened in 2010, this partnership has established a
Community Service Programme (PIG) which puts Val
d'Europe's development into perspective in creating a
catchment area of 60,000 residents by 2030.
A new growth phase
This new so-called phase IV is part of the PIG. By 2020, it
provides for the construction of 3,500 units, almost 1,000
residential units and 3,000 hotel rooms, more than
200,000 sq.m. of offices and shops, about 15 hectares of
activities and the Villages Nature project.
Such a programme is designed to give the tourist destination a development potential in synergy with Paris and
Ile-de-France tourism, continue to attract new residents
to Val d'Europe, promote the economic development
cluster, schedule the siting of major public facilities and
provide metropolitan accessibility.
These new developments, which represent €2 billion in
public and private investment, will have a major economic impact on the area.
Significant operational commitments right
now
To allow such development, which is in the process of
being completed, the public authority is finalising the
creation and modification of nine integrated development zones. In parallel, Val d'Europe's new urban planning
syndicate (SAN) is amending the urban planning documents. The land will thus be available shortly.
To avoid interrupting the area's momentum, the public
authority and Euro Disney, in agreement with local authorities, have signed a 2012/2014 interim programme which,
without waiting for the completion of the foregoing points,
authorises the construction of 750 family housing units,
a school/nursery/leisure centre, neighbourhood facilities
and several thousand square metres of shops and services
in the towns of Serris and Chessy. It thus provides for an
extension of 21,000 sq.m. of Val d'Europe's international
business space which is to be built on a capstone of the
TGV tracks in Serris, representing an investment of more
than €100 million by 2014.
Villages Nature project - The hanging gardens
Villages Nature, an exemplary eco-tourism
project
As part of Val d'Europe's new development phase, Villages
Nature is a tourist resort destination based on the quest
for harmony between man and nature, which aims to become a reference in sustainable family tourism Europe. Its
aim is to minimise its environmental footprint and it is
committed to enhancing the cultural and heritage wealth
of its home neighbourhood.

Committed to being as exemplary as possible in terms of
sustainable development, the project developers have
implemented a 10-target Sustainable Action Plan, with
corresponding quantitative objectives to be attained in
the destination design, implementation and operation
phases.
The first building permits have been filed and the work
has begun with the opening of the first phase of the programme due in 2016.
Its novel, low carbon footprint, sustainable tourism
concept, and its significant potential for job and business
creation, have prompted support from the State, the Ilede-France Region, the Seine-et-Marne Department and
local communities. It represents private and public investment of around €800 million, led by the Euro Disney and
Pierre & Vacances companies, which will generate the
creation of 4,500 jobs in all, including 1,600 direct jobs.
The detailed programme of this project provides for the
following, on a 259 hectares site south of the A4 motorway in the town of Villeneuve-le-Comte:
• the eventual construction of 2,300 accommodation
units at the tourist residence, including a first phase
of 1,730 units divided into 3 villages (2 lake villages
and 1 forest village)
• the construction of recreational and facilities and
attractions, on a designated area of 160,000 sq.m.
• the digging of 15 hectares of water stretches
• a programme integrated into its environment, including 45 hectares of woodland, through a network of
soft links and ecological corridors

SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT
An innovative approach applied on a large scale
Energy transition, space saving, alternative mobility and urban/nature integration are the mainstays of sustainable
urban development in Marne-la-Vallée. All projects, whether in new housing neighbourhoods or new business
centres, comply with sustainable development principles. The area is now entering a new operational phase which
represents a true field of application in terms of urban innovation.
Having been a precursor area in sustainable development
from the outset, Marne-la-Vallée asserts its commitment
to innovation throughout all its development projects. All
projects make sustainable development requirements the
norm - social diversity, diversity of use, space saving and
energy and environmental efficiency at the cutting edge
of current know-how and expertise. Major initiatives are
thus under way, in construction and sustainable development, energy efficiency and low carbon mobility.
Development potential allowing innovation
on a large scale
The pace of growth in Marne-la-Vallée is now unprecedented. Eighteen Integrated Development Zones
have been created or modified over the last three
years reflecting an intensification of the urban environment, providing an unparalleled development potential
in Paris Region. These prospects for development and
construction in the residential sector, service sector and
business parks, are on such a level that it is now possible
to conduct large-scale demonstrations and experiments.
The eco-neighbourhood approach across
the board
Marne-la-Vallée's declared ambitions are to promote
social harmony, imagine tomorrow's mobilities, balance
housing and jobs and establish a space saving and energy
efficient urban environment, all in a sustainable, envi-
ronmentally-friendly, urban development rationale. The
Public Development Authorities (PDAs)’ actions reflect
their desire to develop the urban environment in a
consultative approach that takes the three pillars of sustainable development into account: economic, social and
environmental. Most of the major development projects
are thus carried out in accordance with the national econeighbourhood approach.
An alternative approach to travel
The Marne-la-Vallée public land development authority's
ambition is to pursue urban development that incorporates better balanced, more complementary transport,
across the whole area. Short distance neighbourhoods,
mobility platforms, car sharing, soft links, public transport
system on a dedicated right of way, etc. are all alternatives
to the use of private cars.
Low-carbon energy for a more responsible
urban environment
In compliance with the decrees implementing of the
French Grenelle Agreement on the Environment I and II,
the PDAs have focused particular attention improving the
energy and environmental efficiency of their projects:
construction of low-energy buildings, certification of
residential projects, construction of "Passivhaus" pilot
houses, etc.
Bussy Saint-Georges - Future station hub project
They also encourage the setting up of district heating
networks to supply public and private buildings from collective boilers. These networks can mobilise significant
sources of difficult to access or use renewable energy,
particularly in urban areas, such as wood energy, geothermal energy or heat recovery.
Sustainable urban development, a growth
vector for green industries
International influence
Marne-la-Vallée, Grand Paris' urban innovation cluster,
enjoys good European visibility and project partnerships
with the United States and Asia were signed recently
during the GreenCity international symposium, held in
October 2013 in Cité Descartes, aiming to showcase
French expertise in sustainable cities.
The wide variety of projects being developed in the
Marne-la-Vallée area is conducive to the development
of green industries, some of which are already clearly
identified: hemp, miscanthus, wood for building, etc.
They represent a considerable potential for construction
and public works as well as for local agriculture.
Agriculture-related sectors are also developed through
the 2,600 hectares of farmland in the area. The maintaining of urban agriculture is an asset for Marne-la-Vallée's
development.
Green City - Edition 2013
These major partnerships with the World Bank, the Philadelphia Energy Hub, the Tokyo Metropolitan University,
the Société du Grand Paris, Efficacity, etc., demonstrate
the commitment to create synergies between the world
of education, research and industry to speed up innovation and the energy transition. These agreements
open up prospects for fruitful cooperation in innovation and business development.
The Jossigny agricultural plain
Marne-la-Vallée is also a member of the European
Climate KIC/EURBANLAB programmes and networks in
cooperation with the Advancity competitiveness cluster.
EPAMARNE / EPAFRANCE
A public development authority serving the locality and its development
The public development authorities (PDA) are responsible for promoting and coordinating Marne-la-Vallée's development while making sure to create a sustainable, balanced urban landscape. While one of the PDAs' primary tasks
is to contribute to the production of housing in Paris Region, its role is also to support public and private actors in
order to promote regional economic development and job creation.
Two State public authorities
Two public economic actors...
As operational instruments of the State, EPAMARNE and
EPAFRANCE are public institutions responsible for facilitating and promoting Marne-la-Vallée's development.
Their role is to ensure consistency, in space and in time,
of the construction of the components of the new city, in
continuous contact with local authorities.
The public development authorities pay special attention
to their role in providing a link between all the actors in
the area, ensuring the development of the Marne-la-Vallée
area through strong, lasting partnerships.
Move the city forward
- Role: promote the development and carry out any actions needed to facilitate Marne-la-Vallée's development.
- Actions: project design and implementation management, acquisition, land sale and marketing, action on
its own account for the development of integrated development zones, completion of infrastructure and superstructure work on behalf of the State or local
authorities, support for local actors and promotion of the
area, etc.
- Fields of action: homes, offices, shopping centres,
public facilities (schools, sports, cultural, etc.), infrastructures, landscaping, etc.
- Positioning: leading partners of communities, among
the leading public investors and major funders of major
future projects.
The order of 8 September 2011 allows the PDAs to take
action in municipalities located outside their perimeter.
The general memorandum of agreement signed with the
municipality of Montry fits into this approach marks the
significant development, on agreed and renewed lines, in
the PDAs' action.
They have proven siting engineering expertise available
to developers, investors and end users who are supported
in all the stages in implementing their projects in the area.
As compelling economic actors in Marne-la-Vallée, they
actively contribute to the creation of wealth and encourage investment in the area.
... supporting private investment
The PDAs have pursued their investment policy since
2011 in terms of new land acquisition and development
work. This has significantly improved the supply side of
both housing and economic activities, and is part of a
true impetus for the future.
The public authorities offer developed, legally stable land
in a controlled environment, both economically and at
urban level.
Consistency and quality in the locality's urban planning
projects thus provide investor visibility.
