It's been a while, I haven't posted in this forum. It's possible to built plaform doors in very old stations. Paris metro has added platform doors on three old lines 1, 4 and 13 (those lines are over 100 years old). Doors on line 1 and 13 were built in late 2000s, early 2010s with 5ft7 high...

They took the original render of this train and added some people. It blurred but we can still reconize, Finch.

Look at the train, the municipality of Champigny sur Marne a parisian inner suburbs, used to illustrate the new metro planned.

Paris has also many non RER suburban trains with high frequencies. RER and S-bahn are basicly the same thing, some S-Bahn lines are more like metro than other lines. It is the same with the RER. Anyway Paris RER carry a lot more people than any S-bahn system existing. The RER A carry more...

Since when Strasbourg is in Germany ? The city may have a germanic architectural style but it is in France. Meredith Macleod of The Hamilton Spectator did a big mistake.

The MR-63 is based on the rubber tired MP59 of Paris metro but the MF01 (on the picture) is not rubber tired. So I don't think that there is a link between these two rolling stock (MF01 and MR-08). This type of design is common today. The newest rubber tired rolling stock of Paris metro is the...

A) No Paris core is the center a CITY, not a landmark. It should be adapted to the inhabitants of the metropolitan not the tourist. Paris should be an Alpha ++ city, it is only because of the conservatism that it lost place. (this ranking is a bit to much finance based, the economy is not...

Of course I don't speak of buldozen all the old building of the center, Haussmann ideas today are not feasible and I like having old building. I just want more room for the devellopment of the city. Especially where are the public transportation. The comparaison with Toronto is quite...

No Paris and its center is a CITY not a museum made for few people that want to see a so called old world. If they want stereotypes they can go in Las Vegas. Paris is made for its inhabitants, what want the inhabitants : jobs and housing. A museum Paris center is the best way to exclude...

France is closer and closer to full veil ban but also closer and closer to regional election. The full veil is very unpopular and not only among all the population including the majority of muslims (still the ban is less popular and poeple are more reserved about it) so the governement party...

Don't worry. I don't want to tranform the center of Paris in bunch of glass where everything old is remplaced but I don't want to transform center of Paris in a museum where nothing can change and it is impossible to build modern thing. This is possible, of course some district will be...

It is the oposite I love Paris and that's why I don't it to be transformed in a museum gated community for tourist and rich people. I prefer a central Paris full of worker, changing with the times and that attract middle class and working class people as it always was. The middle and...

When I speak of a Times Square, it is for the lighting and nightlife not for the number of tourist. (Honestly I don't care at all of the tourists). No Montparnasse is not perfect and it is less and less a middle class area as they cannot afford in the inner city. I prefer a distict full of...

Sorry to revive this old thread by this is what I dream for Montparnasse. A little drawing made by myself. The best way to integrate Montparnasse tower is to build new skyscrapers around (many people agree with idea including big architects like Jean Nouvel). It is also a good way...

But it is not a monument here, nobody propose to destroy a monument, have you hver been in the area where will build this tower ? Secondly a monument is not any building built before 1910, expecially in a city where these building are not rare. These building would maybe be a monument in...

The thing that ruin the feel of the city are the tourist not the high-rises. Paris can and should build high-rises. It is a global city, not a museum made for people wanting to see the "old world" or the so called most romantic city in Europe. Tour Triangle has been approved by Paris city...

According this test I strongly prefer north african people over white european people and I sighly prefer lighter over darker people. Honestly I didn't knew that I have strong preference of north african people, I have more white than north african friends. :confused: About lighter over...
