BUILDING IMPACT 2025-2030: Shaping the Future of Greater Paris in a Changing World
Wisdom and economic history teach us that opportunities lie at the heart of every crisis. Large-scale projects are a guarantee of stability and opportunity. If the Grand Paris Express project is being talked about all over Europe and across the Atlantic, it is in particular because it aims to strengthen the position of the leading European region and promotes a structured vision in an uncertain and changing period. Yes, the investment opportunities are there and the Île-de-France region still has major assets. This sequence addresses the 5 main themes dealt with during the 3 days of Mipim: Environmental value, the impact of AI, urban recycling, the legacy of Paris 2024 and new living spaces with station districts.
