Residents of Paris suburbs denounce uncontrolled construction ahead of Olympic Games

Paris, August 17 (EFE/EPA).- (Camera: Christophe Petit-Tesson) Two years ahead of the Olympic Games in Paris, residents of the suburbs are organizing to denounce the construction of buildings at the expense of green spaces, raising housing prices and increasing pollution around schools.

Serge Begun, a resident of the Dugny commune, walks his dog through the Aire des Vents. At the other end of the park, almost a dozen cranes are now working on the construction of the "media village", a new neighborhood with 1,300 homes.
