Understanding the boulevard Saint-Charles SPP

This SPP is in line with the objectives of ecological transition, the fight against climate change and the creation of quality living environments. It is a roadmap to be followed for the next 20 years to ensure that rehabilitation and redevelopment work is carried out in a coherent manner.

The target area covers approximately 28 hectares on either side of Saint-Charles Boulevard, stretching from the north of the borough to the Kirkland city limits.

A number of areas for improvement have been identified in this project, including:

Integrating a range of housing types to meet the needs of a varied and changing clientele.
Tailoring the commercial and service offer to better meet local needs
Beautifying and greening the urban infrastructure to create high-quality landscapes with a distinctive identity.
Diversifying the offer of alternative means of transport so as to connect more effectively to the metropolitan public transport network.
Developing an architectural and landscape vision for the artery.
