This Tuesday, June 21, the president of the Portes de France – Thionville agglomeration community, Pierre Cuny, has shown his desire to rehabilitate the ZAC du Couronné.
“In twelve years, we will no longer recognize the territory between Thionville and Yutz”, underlined Pierre Cuny, the president of the Portes de France-Thionville urban community (CAPFT), during a press conference organized on Tuesday 21 June at the Pont-écluse. A symbolic place since it is part of the fortifications of the Crowned. However, the reclassification of this district as a ZAC was precisely the subject of the day.
A project that is part of the seven of Thionville 2030, except that it is the only one carried by the CAPFT. Pierre Cuny wants to give each neighborhood an identity. The ecological transition for the Left Bank, 21st century modernism for the Right Bank and for the Couronné, its heritage of course. The potential is enormous. The traces of the fortress of the time are still present but left abandoned, they end up going unnoticed. A large-scale operation must be carried out in order to restore this heritage that has been set aside for too long. To bring it up to standard, “the estimates relate to 20 million euros”, specifies Pierre Cuny.
An investment which would be balanced thanks to the sale of land to create housing and offices and which could eventually make it possible to integrate the network of Vauban fortified towns and obtain a UNESCO label. An ambition that is only in its infancy and should materialize between 2026 and 2032.
