Paris, March 1 (Hindustan Reporter) The Olympic Village for Paris 2024 is ready to welcome athletes. The 52-hectare village, located north of central Paris and spanning the municipalities of Saint-Denis, Saint-Ouen and Île-Saint-Denis, is set to welcome 9,000 athletes and their staff for the Paralympics ahead of the Olympics. Will host approximately 14,500 athletes and their staff during the .

French President Emmanuel Macron inspected the Olympic Village on Thursday. “This is a demonstration that we have honored our commitments,” Macron told reporters after meeting the activists. After the Games, the village will be transformed into an eco-friendly area with 2,800 apartments, two schools, a hotel, a public park, shops and offices, as well as tree planting areas for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles. Will be included.

According to Xinhua, about a third of the 2,800 apartments will be sold to private homeowners, while another third will be for public housing, and the rest for rental. The builders said that 6,000 residents of the village will benefit after the Games. “It is a masterpiece of what the French construction industry can do,” said Nicolas Ferrand, general director of Solideo, the company in charge of delivering the Olympic infrastructure.

Using low-carbon concrete, timber structures and renewable geothermal heating, organizers claim the village will produce about half the carbon emissions over its lifetime than a counterpart built with standard construction techniques. Other environmental innovations in the village include a mini water-processing plant to recycle water that will be used on more than 9,000 trees and shrubs that are to be planted on the site.

After Paris was awarded the Games, Ferrand handed a symbolic key to the village to Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet, concluding a seven-year journey. Organizers will furnish the village with more than 300,000 furniture and decor items over the next four months.
