👉 The Grande Project, also known as the Grand Projet, was a massive infrastructure initiative launched in 2020 by the French government with the ambitious goal of transforming Paris and its surrounding areas into a sustainable, efficient, and technologically advanced city. This project encompasses a wide range of developments, including the construction of new metro lines, the expansion and modernization of existing ones, the creation of extensive bike lanes and pedestrian paths, and the implementation of smart city technologies to improve transportation, energy efficiency, and public services. The project also includes the redevelopment of former industrial sites into mixed-use spaces with residential, commercial, and green areas, aiming to reduce urban sprawl and enhance the quality of life for residents while promoting environmental sustainability.
