TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS FOR LA DEFENSE - A MAJOR URBAN REDEVELOPMENT SCHEME IN PARIS
This Paper reviews the conceptual development of La Defense and reports upon the construction and transportation studies that have been so far completed. La Defense is a large urban redevelopment scheme covering 2000 acres near the centre of Paris. The transport needs for this development are extensive, especially at the peak hours, and they are being provided for by a comprehensive public transport system as well as new roads and parking facilities. The public transport facilities consists of a new railway station on the national railway network (SNCF), which gives access to the western suburbs of Paris, and a new underground railway station for the recently opened mass transit system, the Reseau Express Regional. These stations are now operating and a new bus terminal for 20 lines is now under construction.
