Paris Olympics 2024: A game changer for Seine-Saint-Denis?

Description

The Paris Olympic Games could be dubbed the “Seine-Saint-Denis Olympics”. Next summer, one of France’s most notorious neighbourhoods will host around 70 Olympic competitions. All eyes will be on the impoverished area. The event raises a lot of hope but also a lot of anger. 16 billion tourists are due to pour into the area. French police have launched the Olympics’ Operation Zero Crime, but with soaring unemployment and crime rates, Seine-Saint-Denis has a huge challenge ahead.
