A-Infos (en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL Septembre - Grand Paris: Triangle of Gonesse, a project that wrong (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]

The traditional smoky "participatory public debate" on Europa City was held between March 
and July 2016. Despite the involvement of opponents and opponents, the result to be 
published in mid-September leaves little doubt about the continuation of this project 
already tied. ---- The 700 hectares of grain land Triangle Gonesse - among the most 
fertile in Europe - are forbidden to build habitats, due to the proximity of Roissy and Le 
Bourget airports. But other forms of development are possible in the airport corridor long 
whets the appetites of developers and local officials and elected. ---- Hence the Europa 
City project Pharaonic commercial and tourist center, worn by a real estate subsidiary of 
Auchan. It would fit in a development zone (ZAC) piloted by the public development Plaine 
de France, which bétonnerait about 300 hectares. A station of line 17 of the Grand Paris 
Express, located in the field, would serve Europa City.

stop Europa City

This project is the culmination of a broader purpose: complete urbanization of the entire 
area between Paris and Roissy. Europa City is but one of the major poles of the dynamics 
of the Grand Paris, which led to concentrate wealth in eight clusters on the ground to 
enhance the international attractiveness of the Île-de-France.

The developers point out that 400 hectares would remain preserved in a protected 
agricultural area (ZAP). Without abandoning the claim to stop the Europa City project, the 
Costif (Coordination for the solidarity of the Île-de-France Territories) takes them at 
their word, and is currently working on an alternative project.

This project would keep a portion of cereal crops next to a logical installation and young 
peasants in horticulture farms and organic farming, tending towards permaculture. For the 
institution, the two main arguments of the project are thus the creation of sustainable 
jobs and youth. For Costif it's mostly instil a new vision of agriculture, because in 
Gonesse two worldviews clash.

Just like many other experiences in Île-de-France (AMAP, educational farms, associations 
pushing the installation of farmers or the purchase by citizens collectives threatened 
land), Gonesse Triangle could become a laboratory that agriculture, unlike the prospect 
that offer merchants conditioned and climaticides dreams of Europa City.

Agriculture at the service of everyone

The objective of the Costif therefore remains the withdrawal of the project, a necessary 
step for the Gonesse land are free to develop agriculture in the service of all. Since 
2012, the Costif rallies, Saclay in Gonesse through Montesson, against projects that 
destroy agricultural land, increase social and territorial segregation and hinder another 
vision of the future.
