France is undergoing several massive infrastructure and economic modernization projects.
* **Grand Paris Express:** Currently one of the largest transport projects in Europe, this involves building 200 kilometers of new automated metro lines and 68 new stations around the Paris metropolitan area, significantly easing suburban commutes. * **Energy Transition & New Nuclear:** Under the "France 2030" investment plan, the country is investing heavily in green hydrogen, offshore wind farms, and the construction of up to 14 new next-generation nuclear reactors (EPR2) to ensure energy sovereignty and carbon-free electricity. * **High-Speed Rail Expansion:** The TGV network continues to expand, with future lines planned to better connect regions like the Southwest (Bordeaux to Toulouse) and improve connections to Italy (Lyon-Turin route). * **Urban Greening:** Major cities are redesigning urban spaces to be more pedestrian and bicycle-friendly, with Paris aggressively expanding its cycling infrastructure and planting "urban forests."
