The Champs-Élysées is Due for a Redesign and Architects Have Some Ideas
By Samantha Pires on January 12, 202
The Avenue des Champs-Élysées, often called the most beautiful avenue in the world, is one of Paris’ main tourist attractions. Though it is still a popular site, Parisians and tourists alike agree that time has not been kind to the avenue. Luckily, Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s €250 million—or roughly $305 million—renovation scheme may help restore its beauty and reputation. Architecture and urban planning agency PCA-stream conceived of an “extraordinary garden” plan that includes half the number of cars and claims far more area of green spaces and pedestrian travel.
샹젤리제 애비뉴는 종종 세계에서 가장 아름다운 거리라고 불리는 파리의 주요 관광지 중 하나이다. 이곳은 여전히 인기 있는 장소이지만, 파리 시민들과 관광객들 모두 시간이 길가에 친절하지 않았다는 것에 동의한다. 다행히도, 앤 히달고 시장의 2억 5천만 유로(약 3억 5천만 달러)가 그 아름다움과 명성을 회복하는 데 도움이 될 것이다. 건축 및 도시 계획 기관인 PCA-stream은 자동차 수의 절반과 훨씬 더 많은 녹지 공간과 보행자 이동 공간을 포함하는 "특별한 정원" 계획을 구상했다.
PCA-스트림은 "Champs-Elysés roundround와 Arc de Triompe 사이에 위치한 지역에 대한 전반적인 비전은 소음(소음, 열, 차량 교통)을 줄이고 편안함(공기질, 보행자에게 돌아가는 공간)을 개선함으로써 10년 동안 사용 품질을 향상시킨다"고 결정에 대해 설명한다
에토일 교차로는 개선문을 구경하러 온 관광객과 파리 시민들을 위한 공공 광장으로 재탄생된다. '거리'에서는 산책로 체험이 되살아나고, 자동차 통행 감소로 인해 소음환경이 크게 개선된 분위기에서 역사적인 대로를 오르내릴 수 있게 된다.

“The overall vision for the district located between the Champs-Élysées roundabout and the Arc de Triomphe builds up the quality of use over a period of 10 years through the reduction of nuisances (noise, heat, car traffic…) and improving comfort (air quality, spaces given back to pedestrians…),” PCA-stream explains in reference to its decision to limit car traffic.
“The étoile intersection is reinvented as a public plaza geared towards tourists and Parisians who come to contemplate the Arc de Triomphe. On the avenue, the promenade experience makes a comeback and flâneurs will be able to stroll up and down the historic boulevard in an atmosphere greatly improved by the reduction in motor traffic.”
These design decisions, namely the prioritization of green and pedestrian-focused space, were informed by public input gathered by the Champs-Élysées committee. This group has been pushing for a renovation since 2018 with the mission to “modernize, de-stress, and encourage Parisians to come back” to the avenue. Despite the committee and widespread desire to modernize the avenue, such a large project—1.2 miles— cannot be completed by the 2024 Summer Olympics planned for Paris. The city hopes that the Champs-Élysées will be completely modernized by 2030 according to PCA-stream’s plan.
Architect Philippe Chiambaretta, of PCA-stream, summarizes an important mission for the redesign, stating, “It was always designed for the people and shouldn’t just be a luxury avenue.”
