Paris is rewriting the playbook for hosting mega-events with its budget-savvy approach to the 2024 Summer Games! 🌍✨ Instead of building flashy new stadiums, the City of Light is turning iconic landmarks like the Grand Palais (hello, future fencing arena! 🤺) and Hôtel de Ville (beach volleyball by the Seine, anyone? 🏐) into Olympic venues. Talk about #Goals!
Smart Spending, Sustainable Wins 🌿
With 95% of venues being existing or temporary structures, Paris is slashing costs while keeping its carbon footprint light. Organizers say this \"small money, big legacy\" strategy ensures the Games leave lasting benefits for locals – think upgraded public transport and urban green spaces.🚇🌳
Behind the Budget Breakdown 💡
Here’s the tea: Over €4 billion will be split between security, operations, and city upgrades. The best part? No white elephants! After the closing ceremony, temporary venues like the Champ de Mars Arena will be dismantled or repurposed. 🏗️➡️♻️
As one organizer put it: \"We’re not just hosting a event – we’re creating a blueprint for future host cities.\" Mic drop moment! 🎤💥
