Paris is transforming.
Paris is transforming quartier par quartier – neighbourhood by neighbourhood – through five priorities.
Solidarity everywhere: Housing is a priority with the objective of 25% social housing throughout Paris, a new service to enforce rent control, a social home ownership program, and support for energy renovation. Students, youth, seniors, and the homeless will be the main beneficiaries of the new services through new accommodation and support.
Accelerated ecological transformation: Plantations, pedestrian facilities, cycle paths, drinking water fountains, and new food waste sorting bins are some of the ways that the neighborhoods are being transformed to respond to environmental priorities. Investments on an unprecedented scale are being deployed in Paris for energy renovation, swimming in the Seine, and massive revegetation.
Decide and act together: Neighborhood councils, participatory budgeting, Paris volunteers … there are tens of thousands of people in Paris who are involved in decision-making and action about Paris spaces. This network has now been extended by the new Citizens’ Assembly to bring together 100 Parisians drawn at random and by a new democratic meeting: the Parisian votes. All the citizen news is posted on new Paris platforms decider.paris.fr and agir.paris.fr.
Daily cleanliness: Cleanliness is managed by district mayors through neighbourhood managers and emergency cleanliness teams.
Municipal police: Since 2021, a mini-police group, complementary to the national police, has the mission to develop a presence in the streets to protect, reassure, and sanction incivility. In 2023, the mini-police group was mobilized, in particular, to implement the new street code “to better protect pedestrians.” Reachable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it is also available to assist people at designated meeting points in each district.
