With the opening of the train station Rosa Parks during the extension of the RER E in 2015 and the arrival of the T3b tramway in 2012, the area overlapping both Paris and Aubervilliers is undergoing a new revival.

Cultural life is expanding in this part of the 19th Arrondissement in Paris with the venue 104, one of the cultural centers belonging to the Town hall of Paris, Parc de La Villette and canal Saint-Denis, all are located a few minutes from the new station.
