Spatial Recognition #2: Paris Olympics Set Sustainability Records

River cleanups, urban planning, and repurposing historic buildings.

Let the games begin!

For 2024, Paris is not just hosting the Olympics; they are setting a new standard by delivering the most sustainable games in history, aiming for a completely carbon-neutral event with a positive impact on the climate. Here’s how they’re doing it:

  • ♻️ Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - Buildings Edition: Unlike past Olympics, which often spur rapid (and wasteful) city development, Paris is taking a different approach. They plan to reuse Olympic buildings from a century ago, minimizing new construction. For the necessary new structures, companies must cut construction emissions by 30% compared to standard practices. Discover Paris' Eco-Friendly Olympic Construction
  • 🚴♂️ Paris Becoming a 15-Minute City: To manage the influx of visitors, Parisian authorities are transforming the city. The mission is simple - make education, shopping, healthcare, and recreational spaces accessible within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. This initiative reduces car usage, encouraging bicycles and public transportation instead. Explore Paris' City Plan
  • 💧 Seine River Cleanup: The government has invested over $1.5 billion to clean up the river Seine. By cleaning it up, it can serve as a venue for swimming events and the opening ceremony. Even the mayor and the minister of sports showcased their commitment by taking a dip in the newly cleaned river. Read More About the $1.5B Seine River Cleanup
