What 2030 changes on the ground

The visible 2030 project is a set of existing buildings and hills, plus temporary fit-out. Lyon’s arena, the Halle Tony Garnier, and Eurexpo are already there. Thialf is already there. The ski resorts are already there. La Plagne’s sliding track is already there. The new piece the committee has named for spectators to know about is the athlete village at Oullins-Pierre-Bénite, which is housing, not a motorway with your name on it.

On 12 October 2026 the organising committee adopted a second multi-year budget of €2.135 billion, 73 percent private revenue, a tenth of a percent higher than the year before. Solideo, the public delivery company, had presented a lower outline on 1 October. The release does not give that lower number, so this page does not invent one. The committee also said it would pay for temporary structures in Lyon that sit outside the old capital plan.

An earlier version of this article claimed €1.5 billion and a table of property-price jumps after old Games. Those figures are not republished. They were not sourced. For roads and airports that do exist, use getting there.
