Furthermore, the eastern part of La Défense which includes the sectors D1-D11 got the name "Quartier d`Affaires". This is the business and office area including habitation and supply for the inhabitans and employees. The 12th sector is new and the west-east axis is supposed to be lenghtened about 2km in the future. The western part is called "Quartier du Parc" and offers public green space, sports areas but also habitation. Here you can also find the 25ha large parc André Malraux.
