In 1965, Évry became part of the French new town initiative and took its current name. Before it was known as Évry-Petit-Bourg and had a population of only a few thousand. In 2016 it became part of Grand Paris Sud (GPS), an urban agglomeration which merged 24 municipalities near Paris, some of which are New Towns founded in the 1960’s and 1970’s. These cities have responded to the challenge of welcoming tens of thousands of inhabitants from different places in the world by providing housing, transport and jobs.

Évry was developed faster than other new towns at the time. In 1968 there were already 155,000 residents in the region and this rose to over 200,000 by 1972. This rapid expansion threatened the soil and water table. Planners planted large woodlands in order to protect the local ecosystem and viability of the town.

Évry is a centre for a wide range of commerce and services. It has a university and industrial estates which were attracted by tax incentives. The town is home to 75,000 residents today as well as 500,000 in the broader area.
