As part of the exhibition devoted to the metro, its history and the urban transformations associated with it.

By 2050, two-thirds of humanity will live in urban centres. Most of the world’s major metropolises are experiencing the first effects of overpopulation and global warming. The Grand Paris Express offers an opportunity to collectively question our urban model, from the scale of the station district to that of the metropolis as a whole, which is still largely marked by imbalances between the centre and the periphery. By enabling suburb-to-suburb travel, this new network will create the conditions for shared resilience.
