North of the capital, in Seine-Saint-Denis, lies Aubervilliers and its 84,000 inhabitants. With interesting potential, notably thanks to its geographical proximity to major hubs such as Saint-Denis, La Courneuve or the 18th and 19th arrondissements of Paris, Aubervilliers is a town in full growth. According to the latest INSEE data, between 2012 and 2017 the total population grew by 13%. A situation that is however difficult to manage, as the town seems to be suffocating. This raises the question of space. How to manage such growth and ever-denser traffic?
A former fortification of the city of Paris, the fort was built in 1843. It was used to control the passage along the former Route de Flandre and, above all, to protect the capital from possible invasions.
With a population density estimated at 15,000 people per square kilometre, Aubervilliers is a dense town. In order to better control traffic, the town has put in place certain rules. Today, it is divided into two zones: an orange zone, favouring short-duration parking (3 hours maximum), and a green zone, favouring paid parking. Both zones are paid, although the green zone allows residents to benefit from a preferential monthly rate of €20.
Subscriptions only work for the green zone. If a resident has to park in the orange zone, they can pay at the pay-and-display meter provided for this purpose. Keen to make its public space a little more pleasant and accessible to pedestrians, the municipality has opted for strict regulations and deterrent rates, thereby limiting the presence of motorists.
Generally speaking, town centres are difficult to access for motorists. Between pedestrianisation, limited parking spaces and the impossibility of parking for more than a few hours, the authorities are trying to contain and smooth traffic. Near the centre lies the small allée du Château, a few metres from the Fort d'Aubervilliers metro. A strategic geographical location that makes this street a sought-after place.
A few metres from the Vallès – La Frette neighbourhood lies the Henri Wallon school complex. Located next to square Stalingrad, the Theatre and the aquatic centre, as well as the André Karman and Dr Peyre stadiums, it is on rue Jacques Salvatore, a one-way street where parking is relatively difficult, in particular because of the many residents living nearby.
