Several committees are organised around the

Société du Grand Paris Management Board to ensure

that the government and elected officials of the

Île-de-France region are represented. A collaborative

and incremental process between these committees

serves to guide the strategic choices of Société

du Grand Paris, to support it in its decisions and to

provide it with concrete proposals and measures.

Governance is structured around two major bodies:

the Strategy Committee and the Supervisory Board.

Each of these bodies can refer to the other.

The Strategy Committee brings together not only

representatives from municipalities and public

establishments responsible for urban development

or urban planning affected by the Grand Paris Express,

but also members of parliament and representatives

of consular chambers and professional and trade

union organisations. It is a forum for dialogue and

discussion between elected officials and Société

du Grand Paris’s partners on issues common to the

entire Grand Paris Express programme (development

of station districts, intermodal connections, spoil

management, etc.). Its members discuss and

formulate proposals that they then forward to the

Supervisory and Management Boards. The

Supervisory Board may also refer any matter to the

Strategy Committee. It has initiated proposals such

The local areas and the people who live in them

are at the heart of the Grand Paris Express. This is

demonstrated by the strong representation of

elected officials and entities from the Île-de-France

region within Société du Grand Paris’s governance

bodies.

The make-up of these bodies facilitates ongoing

consultation to ensure compliance with

the government’s roadmap and progress on

the project.

This governance is defined by the law of 3 June

2010 and implementing decree 2010-756 of

7 July 2010 relating to Société du Grand Paris

and Greater Paris.

as the creation in 2017 of a “local residents’ unit”,

which aims to pre-empt and minimise the impact of

worksites on local areas and support the most

affected residents.

The Supervisory Board meets between three and

five times a year. It makes strategic decisions and

votes on the annual budget, which details income,

expenditure, the number of employees and the debt

forecast. It validates the development or construction

operational programme and votes on all investment

transactions.

Every quarter, it receives the periodic progress report

on the activities of Société du Grand Paris from the

Management Board. This document presents the

progress of the work on each line in terms of the key

milestones in the schedule, financial performance and

the main points of concern. It also provides an update

across all areas of management of the Grand Paris

Express project.

The 21 members of the Supervisory Board include

representatives from the Île-de-France region itself,

each department in the region, and the Paris City

Council. Six members participate in an advisory

capacity: the members of the Management Board,

the government commissioner, the economic

and financial supervisory officer and Société du

Grand Paris’s accounting officer.
