Greater Lyon, a land of projects
At the crossroads of Northern and Southern Europe, Lyon benefits from a geo-strategic position and is becoming even more attractive thanks to major framework projects with an emphasis on its international dimension.
Part-Dieu is the second largest service sector district in France with 1.6 million m2 of office space, one of the largest city-centre shopping centres in Europe (64,400 m2 of retail space) and a first-rate multimodal transport hub.
This district, a key area for the entire conurbation, is undergoing a massive development programme to add new spaces for service activities, residential property and commercial premises.
Carré de Soie is the second largest European-scale project in the Lyon urban area. This 500 hectares site, strategically located on the borders of Villeurbanne and Vaulx-en-Velin at the heart of Lyon's eastern suburbs, will soon be undergoing massive change.
With high-quality public transport and a large-scale urban project, Carré de Soie, a true extension to the core of the conurbation, will ultimately be home to over 30,000 people.
South of the historic peninsula at the confluence of the Rhône and the Saône, the largest urban project in Europe will allow Lyon to double its downtown surface area.
With its housing, shops, cultural and entertainment centers, its major corporations and institutions, the 150 ha of La Confluence will become a new prestige address in Lyon.
