: The Paris mayor’s office has abandoned plans for new buildings around the foot of the Eiffel Tower following months of protests from environmentalists and a petition signed by nearly 150,000 people.
“I am announcing that we are completely cancelling any construction project at the foot of the tower but the re-landscaping is maintained,“ deputy mayor Emmanuel Gregoire told the Journal du Dimanche. The landscaping is part of a much larger plan to re-organise the space around the famous tourist attraction, which will see roads and public areas planted with grass and shrubs.
An area of 54 hectares around the tower, currently crisscrossed by several roads, will be largely turned over to pedestrians and “low-impact transportation” such as bus and bike lanes.
