At the entrance to the train station in Evry is a bus line that runs on its own exclusive right of way. The bus line runs throughout the new town and is completely separated from automobile traffic, which makes it very fast. |
Adjacent to the train station is the new
town center.
It is a combined office park, shopping center, and entertainment and cultural center. The new town center is named Evry 2 and is the new town equivalent of an unplanned city's "downtown." |
The first stop on the bus line after the
train station is the Evry 2 new town center.
Up the stairs and escalators are offices, shopping, and entertainment. |
At Evry 2 are all the elements of new town planning and design: Pedestrians have their own "walking world" separated from the automobile; vegetation is in raised planters; there is a "characteristic" street light; and there is public art (the metal sculpture at right). |
