Strategic Vision and Achivements

Challenges

Challenges are defined by cities to clearly express the urban issues they are facing. They describe specific needs and contexts, helping innovators, companies, and organizations understand the problem and propose relevant, tailored solutions.

Experimental Capacity

The city’s capacity to host pilots can be summarised as follows:

  • Population and scale: 2 103 778 residents in 2023 at a density of about 19 960 residents per km² (INSEE).
  • Economic weight: 1 810 931 jobs within the commune in 2023, which brings a large daily working population in addition to residents.
  • Space and scale for the current challenge: the Paris region, tested against a major-disaster scenario, at regional scale.

Pilots

Pilots are real-life implementations of selected solutions in cities. They allow stakeholders to test ideas in real conditions, measure their impact, learn from the results, and determine whether the solution can be improved, replicated, or scaled to other contexts.
