From 5,000 residents and a few dozen agricultural jobs in 1989, Val d'Europe has grown to 28,000 residents and 25,000 diversified jobs in less that 20 years. 6,000 residential units have been built in 15 years of which 20% are low-income housing. This momentum is expected to continue: 60,000 residents are expected by 2030.

Val d'Europe enjoys exceptional accessibility at the heart of Western Europe. Since the inauguration of the TGV East linkup in June 2007, Val d'Europe has become the leading TGV hub in France, with access to 100 stations in France and in 6 border countries. London is 2h15' away by Eurostar, Roissy-CDG is 10 minutes away by TGV, and Paris is just 35 minutes away via the RER A or the A4 highway.

Val d'Europe's public facilities are scaled for growth including an extension of the Marne-la-Vallée University with 1,000 students (ultimately 10,000); 35 facilities, ranging from daycare centers to educational structures (nurseries, primary and secondary schools); a secondary school with an international program for 1,200 students slated for 2010; a network of five media libraries; and the Marne-la-Vallée New Hospital is due to open at the end of 2011 near the town center.

Val d'Europe's town center is a pedestrian's paradise, boasting urban and architectural coherence. The streets and plazas were designed to encourage socializing between the diverse population: residents, tourists, employees, students... The town is surrounded by a pleasant landscaped environment that strikes the right balance between constructed and natural spaces.
