Paname: Part 2 of the Statue of Liberty’s History

In these episodes we are once again on the trail of a statue that is no longer here but for a very different reason to last time. The statue of Liberty, as you probably know, was a gift from the French to the Americans. In Paris there are actually 7 different small replicas of Madame Liberty and the one which used to be outside the Arts & Metiers museum, which was made from Bartholdi’s original plaster model, is being sent to America for the 135 anniversary of her big sister’s original voyage. She was sent first to NY and then will be heading to Washington DC. Find out how the idea came about, how she was nearly never made and how she nearly became the statue of Liberté!

Important road rule to change in Paris

With the exception of a few major roads (like Champs Elysées) and the ring roads (Périphérique and Marécheaux), the speed limit is lowered down to 30 Km per hour. This decision by the city council is intended to reduce traffic in the city by forcing drivers to prefer public transports – just like the recent dramatic increase in parking fees and tickets. Officially this is put in place to lower noise levels in the city, but it is no secret that the current Mayor Anne Hidalgo is leaning towards the idea of a car-free city.

A Site Visit to Station F

This episode uncovers the ways in which this former rail depot became the world’s largest business incubator for start-ups and what that means in the context of a knowledge-based economy.

Reusing the 1920s Halle Freyssinet is a compelling example of the entangled fragments of the railway and the industrial economy and the conversion towards a knowledge-based economy. This process pacifies the perception of high tech industries by familiarising itself with its industrial past. Station F is at the crossroads of an attempt to disavow the historical past whilst being unable to untether itself from it.
