The Metropolis and Territorial Data

The data strategy of the Greater Paris Metropolis is structured around four main pillars :

• Collecting priority data related to the Metropolis’s public policies
• Structuring internal data governance within the Metropolis
• Building and managing an ecosystem of partners in the field of digital data
• Defining a value proposition for municipalities regarding digital data.

This strategy aims to address the entire value chain of digital data—from its production to its management and utilization—in support of major transitions in the dense urban area.

The Metropolis also positions itself as an experimental actor in data production. It seeks to test new acquisition methods to provide innovative and unprecedented resources to stakeholders across its territory.

Dans cette optique, la Métropole s'engage également sur le développement de solution d’intelligence artificielle au service des politiques publiques métropolitaines. La Métropole a ainsi adopté une Stratégie Intelligence Artificielle de la Métropole du Grand Paris. 

As a data producer, the Greater Paris Metropolis makes available the data generated through its competencies on a dedicated OpenData platform.

This platform hosts open data on various metropolitan themes such as biodiversity, land use planning, cultural sites, light pollution, geothermal energy, and more.

Some of these data are also accessible on the Data gouv plateform. 

The France Très Haut Débit Plan, launched in 2013, is entering its final implementation phase. The Government’s goal is to provide ultra-fast broadband coverage across the entire Metropolis by 2022, ensuring high-performance internet access for all households, businesses, and public institutions.

In most of the metropolitan area, private operators are responsible for the necessary deployments, particularly through the installation of fiber-optic networks to the subscriber (FttH).

Although deployment is accelerating, significant disparities remain. All stakeholders (operators, the State, local authorities) must mobilize to meet this goal. Aware of the major economic, social, and societal stakes, SIPPEREC and the Greater Paris Metropolis, as part of its Metropolitan Digital Development Plan (SMAN) unanimously adopted by the Metropolitan Council on June 21, 2019, launched the Metropolitan Observatory for Ultra-Fast Broadband Deployment.

Available since October 30, 2019, this observatory provides residents, municipalities, and territories of the Greater Paris Metropolis with a concise overview of fiber broadband coverage.

As a transparency tool open to all, the observatory is designed to be educational. It is intended to evolve and expand over time, based on increasingly comprehensive data provided by ARCEP (cable networks, other technologies...). Its goals are twofold: to support operators and local authorities in coordinating their actions and fostering constructive cooperation, and to better respond to citizens’ concerns about efficient and balanced digital development across the territory
