Statistics Detail €15 Million Scale of Canal Saint-Martin Mobility Upgrades
City records list exact lengths, square metres and tree counts for the 4 km project in the 10th arrondissement.
How we reported this
The Canal Saint-Martin redevelopment carries a €15 million price tag and covers roughly 4 km of promenade, according to project documents from the City of Paris.
Work on vehicle-reduced spaces for pedestrians and cyclists is set to finish by early 2026. The timing places final landscaping after the 2024 Olympic period, with mobility phases already completed between February and June 2024 and scheduled again from October 2024 to February 2026.
Exact measurements listed in project files
Documents record 3.4 km of new bicycle facilities, 147 new bike bays and 10,400 m² of added pedestrian space. They also count 52 new trees, 3,205 m² of open-ground vegetation and 10 biodiversity refuges to be installed along the canal.
Landscaping work itself runs from October 2024 through December 2025. These figures appear in records held by the mairie of the 10th arrondissement and describe the shift from industrial waterway edges to shared public space.
Property prices track neighbourhood shift
Average sale prices in the 10th arrondissement reached €9,600 per square metre in 2026, a 2.8 percent rise. Apartments with direct canal views on quai de Valmy or quai de Jemmapes traded between €10,500 and €11,500 per square metre.
The same records note that the area moved from a working-class industrial zone to a mixed-use district over the past 15 years. Listings now reference artisan coffee roasters, concept stores, galleries and fine-dining restaurants within the transformed blocks.
