Abstract

As the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games approach, and with brief but intense controversies erupting around transportation, this article proposes to step back and consider the Paris 2024 transportation project through a study of French bids since 1992 and the changing regional context. Indeed, while the Grand Paris Express project is concomitant with the bid and preparations to host the Games, we show that since Paris was selected in 2017, it has always appeared impossible for the project?s designers and the public institutions in charge of monitoring it to pursue the objectives defined at political level of opening the new metro and regional rail (RER) lines by 2024. Through a study of political and urban planning temporalities, and an analysis of documents relating to the bid and reports, this article highlights the complexity of reconciling the ephemeral and urgent urban Olympic project with pre-existing planning and development projects.
