Paris is turning an industrial neighborhood into Olympic Village — it will become permanent housing post-Games
Potentially the first to take this kind of approach to its Olympics buildout, Paris is keeping the city’s future in mind as it creates the 2024 Summer Games’ Olympic Village.
Rather than the usual approach — figuring out what to do with Olympics-specific buildouts as an afterthought — Paris is building a new low-carbon, mixed-use neighborhood in a part of the city that needs more housing. Olympic athletes will just be its first residents.
Once the 2024 Games — historic already as the first to achieve gender parity — are over, the neighborhood will resume “normal” operations with rental housing, apartments for sale, offices, and more. Paris is also adding bus stations, bike paths, a park (where the athlete bus areas will be), and retail space (the athletes’ medical facilities).
Why is this good news? The essentially single-use construction of the traveling Olympics is a notoriously wasteful aspect of the Games.
Aside from an incredibly sustainable and innovative way to approach construction (not the first time Paris has led the way in that regard!), the neighborhood they chose needed to be revitalized in this way. It’s so thoughtful of the city to build for its needs outside of hosting the Olympics.

“Maybe we can stop trying so hard to understand the gorgeous mystery of sexuality. Instead, we can just listen to ourselves and each other with curiosity and love, and without fear. We can just let people be who they are and we can believe that the freer each person is, the better we all are.”
