Jacqueline Osty, winner of theGrand Prix de l'urbanisme in 2020, designed the 3.5 hectares (8.6 acres) of public spaces on the port site. She has forged a common base, preserving a continuous, mineral spirit, evocative of the port area's past, with a light use of vegetation in the form of long, straight grassed lines and green lounges between the housing developments.[11]
The name Pantin was recorded for the first time in 1067 asPentini, perhaps from theRomanpatronym Pentinus, a variant of Pantaenus or Repentinus, but this etymology is not certain.
The first known deed in which the name Penthinum appears is a deed from the 11th century granting the Pantin estate to theSaint-Martin-des-Champs Priory.[12]

On 1 January 1860, the city of Paris was enlarged by annexing neighbouring communes. On that occasion, a small part of the commune of Pantin was annexed to Paris.
On 24 July 1867, a part of the territory of Pantin was detached and merged with a part of the territory ofRomainville and a part of the territory ofBagnolet to create the commune ofLes Lilas.
By 1875, theCanal de l'Ourcq (Ourcq canal) and new railway lines served to divide the town into two parts—the "Village" and the "Quatre Chemins". TheHôtel de Ville was completed in 1886.[15]

The construction of a science park along theBassin de la Villette on the former site of city abattoirs has improved pedestrian access to Paris, as well as encouraging urban regeneration in Pantin itself. A key policy discussed since the 2008 mayoral election has been the possibility of integrating the ten banlieue towns ofBagnolet,Les Lilas,Le Pré-Saint-Gervais,Romainville, Pantin,Noisy-le-Sec,Montreuil,Bobigny,Bondy andRosny-sous-Bois into an "intercommune" of around 440,000 people. This new municipality could be created as early as January 2010. This project was implemented, it gathers nine communes. In 2016, Pantin was declared France's most polluted town by theWorld Health Organization.[16]

| 1 This group is made up largely of former French settlers, such aspieds-noirs inNorthwest Africa, followed by former colonial citizens who had French citizenship at birth (such as was often the case for the native elite in French colonies), as well as to a lesser extent foreign-born children of French expatriates. A foreign country is understood as a country not part of France in 1999, so a person born for example in 1950 in Algeria, when Algeria was an integral part of France, is nonetheless listed as a person born in a foreign country in French statistics. 2 An immigrant is a person born in a foreign country not having French citizenship at birth. An immigrant may have acquired French citizenship since moving to France, but is still considered an immigrant in French statistics. On the other hand, persons born in France with foreign citizenship (the children of immigrants) are not listed as immigrants. | ||||
