« Faites nous rêver ! » Portées par la volonté de Nicolas Sarkozy, dix agences d'architecture françaises et étrangères ont plongé avec enthousiasme dans la consultation du Grand Paris : Antoine Grumbach & associés, l'Atelier Castro-Denissof-Casi, l'Atelier Christian de Portzamparc, Ateliers Nouvel, Cantal-Dupart, Duthilleul, l'AUC, le Groupe Descartes, l'agence LIN, MVRDV, Rogers Strik Harbour + Partners et Studio 09. Soutenue et financée par le ministère de la Culture et la Ville de Paris, cette étude avait pour but de dessiner le Grand Paris du XXIe siècle à la fois créatif et durable, « la » priorité du protocole de Kyoto et du Grenelle de l'environnement. Une gare Europe à Aubervilliers, le bois de Vincennes transformé en Central Park, les toits de Paris couverts d'une forêt de panneaux solaires, un réseau de transports aussi performant que le métro de Fulgence Bienvenüe, des ministères en périphérie, Le Havre à l'horizon maritime de la métropole, voici un aperçu du Grand Paris 2030 tel qu'il se dessine en pointillés. Le propos de ce livre – fruit d'un travail d'investigation de neuf mois – est destiné à un large public qui appréciera la pertinence de chacune de ces propositions. Des jalons pour l'avenir.
