CASTRO, Maria  and  CASTRO, Maria. Articulating the global city and the just city: the Grand Paris Express and the "Third great urban revolution" in Paris. GOT [online]. 2018, n.15, pp.69-95. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2018.15.004.

In Paris, the construction of the Grand Paris Express (GPE) is in progress. The GPE is an underground subway network with an extension of over 200 km that includes 68 new stations. The GPE will circle the capital by its periphery, complementing the system of existing centripetal axes that have been organized radially so far. The objective is to build a sustainable city, both from an economic point of view - by positioning Paris as a global economic center - and from a social point of view - by improving the living conditions of the inhabitants and correcting territorial inequalities. This paper presents the project and seeks to situate it within the discussions that it raises, including themes such as sustainability, governance, impact management, among others, that are articulated between two poles: efficiency and equity.

Keywords : urban mobility; Grand Paris Express; Global City; Just City; urban sustainability.
