This summer, over one million visitors, spectators, and athletes have gathered in the streets of Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. The preparation for the event included massive investments into upgrading infrastructure, venues, and public spaces throughout the city and country.
While the 2024 Olympic Games are the catalyst for citywide investment and urban restoration, the designers of the Olympic environments and infrastructure are planning for life, use, program, and regional identity after the athletes have left.
Outside of the Olympic Games and the incredible visibility that the organization garners, there are hundreds of creative ways in which designers, planners, and policymakers are incorporating environments of tourism into the urban fabric of their city.
When a singular event catalyst, such as the Olympic Games, or a cultural gathering, such as the Venice Biennale, gains considerable visibility to tourists and touring enthusiasts, there is a unique opportunity to invest in the public spaces and infrastructures of the urban fabric.
