The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are part of a long-term urban development strategy dating back to early metropolitan planning initiatives, such as the 1965 Île-de-France Regional Planning and Development Master Plan (SDAURIF). This foundational plan set the stage for coordinated urban growth in the Île-de-France region, influencing the vision for today’s large-scale projects.
Reflecting this legacy, the organizers of the 2024 Games have adopted a lifecycle approach in the design, construction, and operation of infrastructure, with a focus on repurposing facilities after the event. This strategy aims to create lasting impacts by reusing sports facilities for local communities and prioritizing the rehabilitation of existing sites over new construction.
This approach seeks to minimize environmental impacts and strengthen the integration of infrastructure within the Grand Paris metropolitan area. By considering the lifecycle of facilities, Paris 2024 continues the framework established by the Grand Paris project, which prioritizes an interconnected and sustainable planning model for the region. Choices in materials, energy use, and resource management for the 2024 Games reflect a commitment to waste reduction and long-term investment. This exemplary project contributes to a lasting vision for the Paris region, supporting a sustainable legacy for local communities and advancing the balanced development ambitions set in motion decades ago.
