The mayoral candidate for Paris, French politician Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, has released a series of sketches which see the glamorous city’s abandoned subway stations reimagined as entertainment and leisure venues. Included are theatres/performance spaces, restaurants, bars, swimming pools, and galleries.

According to Kosciusko-Morizet, these “ghost stations” have a lot of potential, and can enhance city living. The renders were made by Manal Rachdi and architectural planner Nicolas Laisné. What do you think of the idea? Should other cities follow suit?
