How Saint-Germain-en-Laye increased the city centre quality by testing new pedestrian areas

Saint-Germain-en-Laye is home to 46,200 inhabitants and belongs to the urban areas of Paris located about 20 km west of the Paris centre. The city is a strong educational centre with international schools for the diverse nationalities living in the Paris agglomeration. Saint-Germain-en-Laye has a strong city centre – called the hypercentre – with more than 500 retailers and service providers, presenting thus an attractive position for its residents and people of the surrounding areas to come to Saint-Germain-en-Laye for shopping and leisure and recreation activities.

One of the objectives of the city is to advance pedestrianisation of the city centre as well as its soft connections to major transport hubs, specifically the light rail RER service attached to the north of the city centre. At the time of the COVID19 pandemic lockdowns, Saint-Germain-en-Laye recognised both the need to provide people with safe outdoor space to move around as well as the opportunity to accelerate pedestrianisation objectives by applying pilots in the city centre.
