Échirolles station district (38)

The station area is designed as a new living space and not just as a transit area. The project is structured around a major East-West axis that links the Échirolles station to the Maurice Thorez park.

Given its ambition to create a lively neighbourhood also outside working hours, the Connexions project provides for a strong programmatic mix, which should contribute to changing the image of the neighbourhood.

The evolution of this perception for the city of Échirolles and its residents is taking place for their benefit, offering them new services, meeting their needs and providing them with new amenities.

For these reasons, future programming has been designed with the city's needs in mind, while also taking into account changes in lifestyles and working practices, and consulting with the operators of certain future programmes at this stage.

The project provides for diversified programming around generous public spaces and landscaped inner blocks which will be extensively planted to allow the continuity of the green grid from the public space. The core areas are adapted to the type of programming and allow, within the undeveloped spaces, a multiplicity of uses and convivial spaces (playground, shared gardens, picnic area, etc.).
