Société du Grand Paris has adapted as

much as possible to the pandemic to ensure

uninterrupted dialogue, respond to the

demands of local stakeholders and continue

the collaborative work undertaken since

the start of the project.

Uninterrupted dialogue

with local stakeholders Dialogue with local authorities took place

in a context shaped by two particular factors:

the coronavirus pandemic and local elections.

The usual forums for dialogue with local

stakeholders had to be adapted because

of Covid-19, and discussions with mayors

became especially active from the time of

the first lockdown in spring 2020. Despite

this unprecedented situation, links with

elected officials and partners remained very

close, which is testament to the strength of

the relationships built on trust over many

years. Dialogue with local authorities

remained fluid thanks in part to a very rapid

and effective switch to videoconferencing,

ensuring that consultation continued and

that the shutdown and resumption of work

could be managed effectively.

Informational meetings for local residents

and worksite tours arranged for elected

officials were able to continue through

the use of digital information solutions and

compliance with strict public health

regulations.

Line conferences continued

remotely These annual events were held in accordance

with the commitment made by Société

du Grand Paris when these forums were

reinstated in 2018, with the exception of

the conference on line 15 West, which was

postponed at the request of elected officials.

The strong attendance by elected officials at

these online conferences demonstrated their

renewed interest in the project, despite the

remote format, given that this is an important

event for measuring the progress made on

a line and understanding the next steps.

ACTION 30 Work with local stakeholders

The dialogue between the programme manager and local authorities takes place in dedicated

discussion bodies – technical committees, works monitoring committees and steering

committees – formed to involve local communities in the design and construction of the

Grand Paris Express. Depending on the committee’s purpose, Société du Grand Paris is joined

by local authorities (elected officials and agencies), government agencies, Île-de-France

Mobilités, transport operators, passenger and neighbourhood organisations, businesses,

and managers of nearby facilities.

Elected officials are directly affected by worksites and the new metro, and many of their planned

developments and projects depend on the station opening and line commissioning dates.

In addition to these regular local meetings, broader discussions are also held at the line level

with the line conferences. These annual events are intended to provide an update on construction

progress and the Grand Paris Express’s local effects together with a shared short- and medium-

term vision of its objectives.
