Nicolas Sarkozy will be 29 April one of its largest building, the Grand Paris project. Particularly ambitious, it should be in the capital region master asset of the France in global economic competition next 30 years. Paris is in effect, with London, New York and Tokyo, one of four only world "towns identified by the OECD for their ability to concentrate resources, research and innovation. These future locomotives of the world economy is also characterized by their art of living and economic growth superior to that of their environment. Thus, Paris and the Ile-de-France represent 30 of national GDP with 18 of the population. Players that means great Paris growth of 5 in Ile-de-France. Objective that the Regional Council of Ile-de-France j. inaccessible: for years, the advantages of the region in terms of growth, employment and standard of living are close to the average national. This is also one of the Greens, allies of the Socialist President of the Regional Council, Jean-Paul Huchon, advocating a qualitative rather than quantitative development. The draft prepared by the region, it also for the next thirty years, is therefore based on the order of 2 growth. Deemed insufficient by the State, it is worth several remarks to the region, but Jean-Paul Huchon maintains the Cape.
It is effective without the election of Nicolas Sarkozy. Having been in charge of the development of the territory and elected of Ile-de-France, he knows the potential of the region and indeed the cornerstone of its policy of growth. As he says, as of June 26, 2007, Grand Paris project. Iron arm engages with Jean-Paul Huchon comforted by Bertrand Delanoë. The Socialist Mayor of Paris is concerned that the Presidential draft trims its power. Nicolas Sarkozy maintains pressure and launches, on 17 September, a large consultation with architects to feed his idea. Clever, Bertrand Delanoë brings EUR 400,000 in operation, certain that the architects, fiercely independent, will be the best bulwark to possible subject hegemonic of the Elysee Palace. Without flexibility, Jean-Paul Huchon camped on its positions to push Nicolas Sarkozy to return to the record in hand a year ago by appointing Christian white, Secretary of State for the development of the capital region.

At him to adapt to the Ile-de-France revenue who walk in London and New York. In relying on the work of architects, he must maintain the economic and social cohesion of the region and to prepare economic development combining environment, teaching, research and business clusters. Connected by an efficient public transport system, their networking should fuel the growth, then second lead of cities such as Lille, Strasbourg, Lyon... It is only after these projects bouclé it is integrates currently architects findings that he will have to formulate proposals on the governance of the region. Christian Blanc will then rely on the Union of Paris metropolis studies launched by Bertrand Delanoë to listen to the elected representatives of Ile-de-France, very reassembled by the conclusions of the Balladur Committee.
Circumvented, Jean-Paul Huchon, who could not or would not wait Christian white projects to vote the master plan of the region, will have to accept to revise its copy. "He knows that its elected officials to which Christian white presented projects of interest to them are likely the release," said someone who knows it well. Worse, his main argument, "The State can do nothing without the funding of the region and the departments," dulls with the crisis. Investors favour long-term risk-free projects and Christian Blanc provides them. Finally, resistance too, Jean-Paul Huchon could compromise his chances of nomination for the 2010 regional. Some in the entourage of Martine Aubry, that he claims, are tempted by Christian white projects and face-to-face, the UMP comes to choice, with Valérie Pécresse, of the failure.
