Governing Paris Mobility: Complexity, Olympics, and Lasting Impact with Elodie Hanen, Île-de-France Mobilités

Managing mobility in a region as complex as Paris requires more than infrastructure. It demands strong governance, coordinated planning, and the ability to adapt under pressure, especially during global events like the Olympic Games.

In this episode, Dr. Kaan Yildizgoz speaks with Elodie Hanen, Deputy Director General of Île-de-France Mobilités, about how a single transport authority oversees one of the world’s most extensive networks. Elodie shares insights on governance structures, Olympic operations, funding models, fare reform, inclusive mobility, and digital transformation.

From managing demand during major events to ensuring long-term benefits for residents, this conversation offers practical lessons for transport leaders looking to build resilient, equitable, and future-ready mobility systems.
