Here we are. After ten years of palaver, the metropolis of Greater Paris, legally created the 1 st in January, will proceed this Friday 22 at its founding: the election of its chairman. Except surprise around the stubborn candidacy centrist Philippe Laurent, Mayor of Sceaux UDI, it should be the deputy and mayor of Rueil-Malmaison LR, Patrick Ollier, wins.
Bringing together 131 municipalities, Paris, the metropolis “inscribed in the short list of major global command centers” . This means if the institutionalization of this growth in engine has everything to be a historic event. Yet what we hear most often about it boils down to three ideas: “What is it?”, “What is it?” And, for the more informed, “anyway, the metropolis able to do anything because it has no money. ” Let the point.
The metropolis of Greater Paris, what is it?
First, a physical reality. From the air, the metropolis is the central area of the region “whose legitimacy continuity of the frame” , says Eric Azière, president of the group in Paris UDI-Modem Board. He adds: “If the area was the right scale, it’s not long ago.” However, he did not lack “regionalist” as Jean-Paul Huchon or Valérie Pécresse, who think exactly the opposite. For them, the city is the region. Hence the appeal of Valerie Pécresse, barely elected president of the Ile-de-France, to delete the metropolis of Greater Paris (the administrative structure of course …).
What to think ?
The debate on the proper scope of the Grand Paris is not close to being closed. All maps show an agglomerated zone the concentration of inhabitants, jobs or headquarters example is greater than what is found in the green countryside of the great crown. But, but, but … in these greens regional borders, we find the Saclay plateau (91, research center and world-class innovation), the airport hub of Charles de Gaulle (93, 77 and 95, stronger job creation in the region) and new cities
The result:. Paris more common of the three departments 92, 93 and 94 + Argenteuil (95) + six cities from north . = -Essonne the metropolis of Greater Paris
What’s the point
– A correct inequalities between the municipalities. The financial potential per capita scientist calculation that compares the cities ranges from 778 euros to Clichy-sous-Bois (93) against 4164 in Puteaux (92). The metropolis has to contribute to rebalancing by raising corporate taxation and redistributing
-. To conduct a housing policy, ie ultimately to guide the construction of housing. With a metropolitan plan for housing and accommodation that will impose on local development plans
-. To protect the environment and the quality of the air pollution because, although she is very focused on Paris, knows no municipal boundaries
The city will not have a big pot to correct inequalities. probably 70 million euros in the first year, only budget Sevran. It should start by creating an investment fund. More importantly, it has two years to define “metropolitan interest”. This concept should allow to sort the actions that depend on the local and those on the mainland.
Does The metropolis will act as she has so little money?
The parliamentarians who created the Maptam law in 2013 have worked well to empty his pockets. It harvests a big bundle of money, probably 3,770 billion euros of taxation of companies, but in reverse 3.7 billion to municipalities. The most endowed territories, including Paris and Hauts-de-Seine, were in no hurry to give him the sinews of war. The Ile-de-France produces a third of the national GDP and 75% can be estimated from the wealth generated in the metropolis. Government side, we prefer to start with a poor metropolis rather than block everything and create anything at all
Should we believe
-.?. Yes In a region where, with few exceptions, it was not known intercommunal and cultivated local selfishness, creating the metropolis led to a revolution. To cope with the weight of the new structure, the municipalities of the departments of large crown were forced to regroup in sets of about 350,000 inhabitants who wear suggestive names (In the Seine-et-Forest, Two Rivers …). No more strange mosaic of small groups where there was parochialism. In the city itself, municipalities were grouped into 12 areas, called T1, T2, T3, etc. Again, the marriages were not used
-.. No Politics dad took over the top. Where we could have dreamed of a city project, we are left with the routine of the distribution of seats. Metropolitan councilors were appointed by the municipalities. But the appointment of the RS presidential candidate was the subject of haggling between the old Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, President of the LR Group to the Board of Paris, and Patrick Ollier, mayor of Rueil-Malmaison, which will probably on Friday elected to the presidency. NKM wanted three vice-presidents for the Parisian opposition. Unacceptable to the Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, who sounded the end of the recess. It will be first vice president of international and conceded a vice-presidency to a dark Deputy Mayor LR XV th arrondissement. Height of the depression, Patrick Ollier also undertook to promise positions of “managing directors” and even create a Quaestor. The kind of lollipops that Delanoe had removed upon arrival at the Paris City Hall
-. But … From 2020, the Metropolitan Council shall be elected by direct universal suffrage. If the right wins the presidential and legislative in 2017, the pressure will be high for the dismantling of the metropolis of Greater Paris. You can count on the incumbents to defend them tooth and nail. The policy to sometimes good dad.
