Lyon 7th. The Duvivier district will emerge from its sad wasteland

Under study since 2015, the PUP (urban partnership plan) of the Duvivier district (Lyon 7e) is entering its realization phase. The new majority takes the file in hand and held, Wednesday, January 13, a public teleconference to present the state of the project. One of the challenges of the rehabilitation of this long-standing wasteland, located in the pentagon formed by avenue Berthelot, rue Paul-Duvivier and rue Cronstadt, and the route de Vienne, is to make the area green again. The vacant lot bears the marks of its industrial past (there is Les Halles du Faubourg), and a plane tree, quite alone, marks the only vestige of nature.

Hence the desire to plant a hundred trees, to create islands of greenery – private – in the heart of the 300 new housing units planned (delivered between this month of March and 2024), but also two new roads, either pedestrian or under form of meeting areas. One will take place on an east-west Duvivier-Berthelot axis, the other on a north-south plan leading to rue Cronstadt.

They will meet on a small plot where, also from 2022, a new school group of 19 classes will be erected. The site will also host a nursery with 36 cradles, and 250 m2 additional shops at the corner of Berthelot, route de Vienne. The hideous SNCF wall along the railway line will also be treated, at least by a tarpaulin, or even by a more aesthetic solution.
