The Olympic Games in Paris have sparked enthusiasm for the Seine River's cleanup, which will host triathlon and swimming competitions, with more public swimming areas planned.
Mayor Anne Hidalgo's initiative aims to open three public swimming spots on the Seine by next summer, marking a revival of recreational waterways in the city.
Cities like Boston, London, and Amsterdam are inspired by Paris's plans to develop blue infrastructure that enhances urban cooling, biodiversity, and overall quality of life.
Historically, the Seine included floating swimming pools that offered breathtaking views, reminding residents of a time when urban waterways were vibrant recreational spaces.
