  • Grand Paris, the 2024 Summer
    A CITY OF PROJECTS: GRAND PARIS, THE 2024 SUMMER OLYMPICS, AND THE JURISDICTIONAL NEGOTIATION OF CONTEMPORARY PARIS BY DAMIEN GEFFROY THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE AND STATE UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN GEOGRAPHY ROBERT OLIVER, COMMITTEE CHAIR THOMAS SKUZINSKI LUKE JURAN MAY 1ST, 2019 BLACKSBURG, VIRGINIA Keywords: French governance, mega events, regional development, metropolization A CITY OF PROJECTS: GRAND PARIS, THE 2024 SUMMER OLYMPICS, AND THE JURISDICTIONAL NEGOTIATION OF CONTEMPORARY PARIS BY DAMIEN GEFFROY Abstract Paris’ successful bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics arises in the midst of a grand rethinking of the politics of regional and local development in the Île-de-France region. The emerging ambition to advance a metropolitan model is fundamentally hindered by a historically persistent and burdensome institutional puzzle. Contravening the consensual political dogma that such intricate structure demands to be simplified, initiatives of metropolization prompted the establishment of a new administrative layer, the Métropole du Grand Paris (MGP). By advocating dynamics of cooperation, the MGP is the institutional manifestation of a State-led ambition to reinvent a detrimental power mosaic in the region. But limited resources, expertise, and jurisdictional authority prevent it from asserting relevance within the metropolitan conversation. Yet, the Olympic project provides the MGP with a compelling opportunity to manifest crucial competence and to significantly mature its authoritative influence. In this thesis, we explore the blending of the Grand Paris regional development project and the Olympic ambition by investigating the role of the 2024 Summer Olympics in the establishment of an ambitious yet fragile metropolitan model.
