Rennes Metropolitan District
Capital to Brittany
> editorial
Gateway to Brittany and also its capital, Rennes is
a truly European metropolis in which to live and
do business. On the human scale, our city has just
the right balance between town and country, in
wonderful surroundings.
With a pool of innovative businesses, excellent universities and
colleges, Rennes is one of France’s most dynamic cities.
Renowned for its living standards, 45 minutes from the sea and soon
to be linked by rail to Paris in 1 hour 27 minutes, our city now has
a population of 405,000 and an unprecedented population growth
rate, with more than 30,000 new residents expected between now
and 2030.
The EuroRennes strategic project, major urban and economic
challenges, the ViaSilva Eco-City, development potential in
the immediate vicinity of the Rennes Atalante Science
park, easier mobility with the arrival of the second
metro line: these are some of the concerns for our
area’s future.
Rennes Metropolitan District is currently focussed
on several key priorities including higher education and
research as well as the beauty and appeal of our region.
In the roll call of European cities, Rennes is a welcoming, modern
and innovative metropolis, valuing quality of life and the talents of
tomorrow.
Daniel Delaveau
President of Rennes Metropolitan District
Mayor of Rennes

Gateway to Brittany, Rennes is one of the
best connected cities in the country
It is at the heart of an effi cient
network of rail and motorway
routes.
Brittany’s capital will be even
more accessible with the opening of the high
speed Brittany - Pays de la Loire line in 2016
(182 km of new track and an investment of
€3.4 billion). Rennes will then be less than 1½ hours away from Paris and its European
transport networks, a time saving of 37 minutes.
By 2018, 128,000 passengers daily (double
today’s fi gure) will be using a brand new station
served by two metro lines. With its choice of the
Siemens Cityval, Rennes Metropolitan District
will be the fi rst city in the world to be equip-
ped with the latest generation driverless metro
system. The estimated investment is more than
one billion euros.
Rennes Metropolitan District is determined to
consolidate its role as a regional economic capital
and position itself on the European chessboard of
important cities.
The future Grand Ouest airport, combined with the
proposed fast rail link between Rennes and Nantes
will also help to anchor the Rennes conurbation in the
international travel networks.

With the extension of the high speed rail link,
Rennes will be only 1 hour 27 minutes away from Paris by 2016, compared to
2 hours 3 minutes today. EuroRennes has
its part to play in this development.
Directly linked to all public transport
(high speed rail, metro, subway, intercity and local bus
networks), the EuroRennes will be the best served
sector of its kind in Brittany. Based around a modern,
effi cient railway station, EuroRennes will establish
itself from the outset as a place of functional
diversity and social interaction, combining the
functions of a multimodal exchange hub and a
major economic centre.
The project management for this ambitious ur-
ban development has been entrusted to the FGP
team, Jacques Ferrier, Philippe Gazeau and Louis
Paillard, whose ambition is to make EuroRennes
a major emblematic city of tomorrow.
Built over 270,000 m², EuroRennes will accommo-
date tertiary activities (in offi ce buildings of 5,000
to 7,000 m²), services (3 and 4 star hotels, shops,
restaurants, etc.), and housing. Objective: to attract
between 120 and 170 new businesses.
EuroRennes is also close to major cultural
facilities (the Champs Libres, the Gaumont
Multiplex cinema and the Liberté concert
hall) and will be linked to the Jacobins
Convent, the future convention centre for
Rennes.

To enhance its attraction as a place for business meetings, Rennes
has chosen a city centre heritage site for its future convention
centre, the Jacobins Convent.
Listed as a historical monument in 1991, this impor-
tant thirteenth century building has been wit-
ness to the political, intellectual and religious
life of Brittany. In deciding to restore it and use it as for
congresses, Rennes Metropolitan District is embarking
on a strategy of differentiation in a highly competitive
European market. Mission statement: to attract more than one hundred new major events a year.
To meet this challenge, the architectural
project stresses both the symbolism and func-
tionality of the site. The heritage dimension
has been carefully assessed and the facilities
tastefully integrated. The fi nal result is a com-
bination of elegant architecture and contempo-
rary spaces. With its brightness, fl exibility, fl ui-
dity, large exhibition and relaxation areas, and
proximity to the metro and the train station,
everything has been designed to meet the
requirements of an effi cient convention centre,
with an estimated annual economic return of some
20 million euros. Investment: 84 million euros.
In parallel with the convention centre, the Rennes
hotel district will grow in strength and range of choice.
Plans for a hotel of international standard could also come
to fruition at the site of the Palais Saint-Georges, another of
the city’s heritage buildings.

Signatory to the Aalborg Charter, uniting European cities committed to sus-
tainable development, Rennes is often praised for the success of its land
management policy and its commitment to controlling energy demands.
The city’s zeal in safeguarding green belts, the creation of an “accessible
city” in favour of modes of transport other than the private car and the
European Cit’ergie and EcoCity labels from the ViaSilva 2040 initiative are
all proof of this success story.
The latest major urban development in the heart of a conurbation
(560 hectares), ViaSilva 2040 is designed as a laboratory for the city
of tomorrow. Comprising 6 districts, each of them divided into macro
islands, the site will be able to accommodate 40,000 residents and 25,000 jobs by 2040. Urban diversity, mixed infrastructure,
preservation of the natural environment, low carbon emission
mobility and effi cient energy performance of buildings are
essential components of the project, designed by the urban
planner Christian Devillers.
Another emblematic project sited within the ring road is
the Courrouze. By 2020, the 115 hectares of this new
district will be home to 4,800 housing units, a popula-tion of 10,000 and more than 3,000 jobs. The Parc des
Dominos already houses the new headquarters of
Crédit Agricole of Ille-et-Vilaine and the Legendre group.
The offi ces of the Prefecture and the Regional
Council of Brittany will be installed there later.
Conceived as a stimulating and innovative
life space by the Secchi-Vigano team of
architects, the Courrouze will even-
tually be linked by the second metro
line to EuroRennes and the ViaSilva
2040 district.

For more than 25 years, with the creation of the Rennes Atalante
Science park, Rennes Metropolitan District has demonstrated its ability
to anticipate society’s future needs and to develop of new modes of
consumption and travel.
To stay in the fi rst league of creative and innovative cities, Rennes Metropolitan District succeeds
in combining the skills of a wide network of cross-sector
partners and innovators.
Tests and trial projects have been launched concer-
ning food, the habitat of tomorrow (in the fi eld of home
maintenance), future vehicles (electrically powe-
red, embedded electronic systems, laser welding
techniques and composite materials). A number of
experiments have been developed with industry and
SMEs in the region, in the search for new economic models.
Some of the successful outcomes can be seen nationally.
At the dawn of a third wave of innovations, the issue is size.
This is about making the region a privileged place for an all-encompassing form of progress and strengthening the
key sectors of the economy, primarily cars, agri-food and
biotechnology, and promoting the emergence of growth
sectors for employment.
To meet the challenge of creativity, our region also looks forward
to the construction of the Cité Internationale in early 2015.
Bringing in foreign researchers and senior graduates, this
5,700 m² centre, which will also house the headquarters
of the European University of Brittany, will strengthen
international scientifi c cooperation.

As the centre of the Images et Réseaux cluster, Rennes is at the forefront of digital
technology convergence. All the links in the value chain - networks, content,
services and applications - come together in Rennes.
The Breton capital brings together many of the big names of French
manufacturing and research (Orange, Technicolor, Alcatel-Lucent
and others) and a dynamic network of innovative SMEs.
Established for many years, these players form a dynamic ecosystem,
capable of attracting the talent and ideas needed to promote new projects
and business opportunities..
The B-Com project of the Technology Research Institute has been
demonstrating and optimising the interactions at work in our region.
This project, structuring on the future of networks and content, could
lead to the eventual creation 3,000 new jobs in our region, as well as
a 6,000 m² construction project.
Today, everything is in place for Rennes to create the right
environment to lead in digital innovation and to develop
new services and applications for the digital technology
community. An open network of more than 500 km of
optical fi bre cable connects the business parks and all
the towns in our region. Rennes Metropolitan District was
also the fi rst local authority in France to release an open
data platform and thus generate a free-fl ow of innovative
applications in all types of digital media.
Large organisations, web entrepreneurs, research
laboratories, universities and user communities
all converge on Rennes to explore alternative
technologies as well as new artistic and cultural
convergences.
