Paris's Seine-Rive Gauche Development Criticized
The Seine-Rive Gauche district, spanning 130 hectares from Gare d'Austerlitz to the Grande Bibliothèque, is Paris's last major urban development site. A recent city-organized consultation revealed the difficulty of its planning, with most projects presented at the Pavillon de l'Arsenal continuing the disastrous urban operations begun in the 1960s in the 15th and 13th arrondissements.
