Paris Olympic Village Testbed for Future-proof Cities

The Paris 2024 Olympics brought some 11 million visitors to the French capital, all ready to watch the biggest show in sports. The city had been preparing for the Games for years, an event that would see smart city and utility solutions claim a position as enablers of the capital’s 2050 vision. Paris police used AI-enabled cameras for safety as well as crowd monitoring. And managers relied on sensor technology and innovation to operate one of the Games’ key locations: the Olympic Village in the Seine-Saint-Denis department.

In this video we interview Michele Dominici, in charge of innovation at the Olympic Delivery Authority Solideo, to discuss how they developed the Olympic Village to be future-ready, which smart city and utility solutions they deployed, and how these became enablers of the vision.
