Launched in November 2014, the call for innovative urban projects "Reinventing Paris" has created an urban dynamic that has profoundly changed the ways of building in Paris. It has inspired many other competitions such as "Reinventing the Seine", "Inventons la Métropole" and "Reinventing Cities" across 15 cities around the world. This call for projects is proving its effectiveness with 13 building permits already issued and 8 projects underway.
To Reinvent Paris II, relating to Parisian basements, 217 projects were submitted, relating to 31 remarkable and little-known sites: car parks, tunnels or disused metro stations. After a first selection of 85 high-quality finalists, the City of Paris and its partners EFIDIS, RATP, Renault, and SNCF met in jury to choose the winning projects.
