Anne Hidalgo she succeed where his predecessor, Bertrand Delanoë, has failed? Ten years after the unfortunate Paris bid to host the Olympic Games (OG) in 2012, the former assistant mayor Bertrand Delanoe and Paris for just one year is back. The Council of Paris she chairs approved Monday, April 13 with a very large majority (only the Greens and the Left Front voted against) the commitment of the capital in a bid to host the Olympics in 2024. “Here we are engaged in the Olympic adventure!” greeted shortly after the Socialist elected, to whom he now belong to co-sign the formal application with the National Olympic Committee (CNOSF) in June .
Long reluctant because of the cost involved such an event, Anne Hidalgo was persuaded in recent months, even deciding “to speed up the timetable and the decision” end of March. Several reasons for this sudden change: first the 11 of January convinced her that it was necessary to extend the national cohesion around a unifying project. Then, the increase from 1 to 1.8 billion of the contribution of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). But it is the opportunity report submitted in mid-February by Bernard Lapasset, the leader of the French committee of international sport, with the most weighed in the balance. It is estimated that 4.5 billion the cost of the design “of an Olympic project assets to win,” far from the 12 billion euros of Rio 2016 and 11.3 billion euros of London 2012.
Boosting Ile-de-France and start the Grand Paris
In reaching this high rate low cost , the Opportunity report suggests using a maximum existing infrastructure in the Ile-de-France or in progress as the line Grand Paris Express. “This project has the advantage of relying on many existing infrastructure such as the Stade de France, the Palais Omnisport de Bercy, Roland Garros, the Velodrome St Quentin en Yvelines, and those already planned in the development of Grand Paris, especially in transport, “the report said. Anne Hidalgo, very attached to the idea of making the games cheaper and sustainable -austérité forces, was seduced. She wants to use this application as an engine for the Grand Paris and, more generally, to boost the Ile-de-France as a whole like what had been done in 2012.
It has and build on existing facilities, including Seine-Saint-Denis, the Paris department poorest to both reduce the invoice and revitalize the area. “Beyond the symbol and beyond the benefits in terms of attractiveness, why Paris bid does she feel today? First, because it would be a powerful tool in the service of progress that Parisians aspire . Behind the Olympics, we must see thousands of homes built, improving the public transport network, accelerating the ecological transition and reducing regional inequalities, “she started to councilors Paris. In addition to the Stade de France that would serve to athletics, the Seine-Saint-Denis could also host the Olympic Village (Le Bourget and Saint-Denis Pleyel) and swimming events with the construction of a pool at Aubervilliers and the renovation of another in La Courneuve.
The successful example London
If London had managed to bring the piece in 2005 when Paris was leaving favorite, it is thanks to this will place the bid for the Olympics, from the outset, in the post. The organizers and wanted to take advantage of this event to launch a major project of urban transformation of the area east of the metropolis which at the time was poorly served by public transport and economic unclaimed. The middle distance of King Sebastian Coe, former Olympic champion, had put all his energy to serve the project, highlighting its relentless urban and social qualities. By choosing to install the Olympic Village in the East end and therefore to invest locally in new sports infrastructure and housing, the town was then wager a total renewal for the neighborhood. The entire facility dedicated to the event have found a second life to service its residents for three years ( see slideshow ). Finally, committed to improving the quality of life for Londoners, the city had motivated all its investments in the interests of their environmental performance. A huge park was also created for the delight of the inhabitants today. Paris is clearly in his steps. But the competition is tough. Rome, Hamburg and Boston are also in the running.
