Lyon Part-Dieu

What Lyon Part-Dieu does

Lyon Part-Dieu is a public urban renewal project for the Part-Dieu central business district in Lyon, France — the second-largest tertiary district in France after La Défense in Paris. The project is coordinated by SPL Lyon Part-Dieu (Société Publique Locale), a public limited company established in 2015 to formalize a program that the Mission Part-Dieu had initiated in 2010. SPL Lyon Part-Dieu is jointly owned by the Métropole de Lyon, which holds 9 of the 10 board seats, and the Ville de Lyon, which holds the remaining seat. Béatrice de Montille was elected Présidente of the SPL on June 11, 2026, following the latest municipal and metropolitan elections.

The SPL's role is project management, stakeholder coordination, public consultation, and delivery of physical infrastructure — there is no commercial technology product. The operational footprint includes approximately 50 active construction operations, a multimodal interchange (Pôle d'échanges multimodal) integrating train, metro, bus, bike, and pedestrian flows, regenerated office and commercial real estate, new public plazas (notably Place Béraudier, opened September 2025, and Place des Martyrs de la Résistance, opened November 2025), renatured public spaces, housing, and cultural and sports facilities. Communications run primarily through the official website, a monthly newsletter, and a permanent public consultation and mediation programme centered on the Maison du Projet.

Operations are funded by public investment from the Métropole de Lyon and Ville de Lyon; there is no commercial pricing or revenue model. The SPL coordinates with a tightly-coupled institutional ecosystem: SNCF Gares & Connexions (station and gallery redevelopment including galleries Pompidou and Villette, both opened 2022), SYTRAL Mobilités and Lyon Parc Auto (combined parking-transit tariff for access during works), Mobility by Colas (the Reguly truck-delivery time-slot platform, labelled by the national Ecocité programme), and INA (historical video archive partnership). The user base comprises residents, workers, commuters, visitors, and tertiary and commercial businesses in the Part-Dieu district.
