An Australian delegation spent several days in the Paris region last week to reflect on the Brisbane 2032 project. Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner, and eight other elected officials from the region visited Seine-Saint-Denis to observe the Olympic village, the brand new Olympic Aquatic Center as well as Saint-Denis-Pleyel metro station, created as part of the extension of line 14. “We were impressed by all the achievements we saw here. It is inspiring for us, and this confirms our intuition that the Games can serve as an accelerator for major projects of public utility », commented Adrian Schrinner, particularly interested in the Paris 2024 approach to mobility infrastructure. "Our number one challenge in terms of heritage is clearly transport. We have here too much use of the car, due in particular to a failure in public transport, he points. So we want to use the Games to develop our public transport system » Brisbane 2032 should soon be able to define its plans since, according to Jarrod Bleijie, Deputy Premier of the State of Queensland, the site map will be unveiled next month.
