Some background info from LinkedIn:
✅ What Paris Did Right:
- Built 1,400 km of protected bike lanes and cycling infrastructure.
- Established low-emission zones.
- Converted riverbanks into pedestrian-friendly areas.
- Embraced the “15-minute city” concept to bring amenities closer to residents.
❌ What Paris Left Behind:
- Restricted through traffic in the city center.
- Banned older diesel vehicles.
- Introduced higher parking fees for SUVs.
- Reclaimed 70,000 parking spaces from cars.
Edit: fixed formatting for mobile / app
Change the ❌ for a ♻️. It almost looks like a "what Paris did wrong " section
Maybe I'm not understanding things properly but, aren't the latter four points also good to fight against pollution? Or is it just car-brained people complaining that they cannot take their car wherever they want anymore?
I think it's more meant in a push/pull way. So what did they do to incentive people to take an alternative to a car and how did they punish people who do take a car.
What do you mean by left behind? Those 4 points have been implemented as far as I know
You can ask them if you want. I'll post a screenshot next time to avoid confusion, sorry.
Will do, thanks!
Better than a screenshot is a link to source. Please dont post screenshots of text
LinkedIn did this research? Can you post the source?
No, someone just posted a nice summary. I usually reverse image search posts on here to find sources and additional info.
This page shows the reports: https://www.paris.fr/pages/etat-des-lieux-de-la-qualite-de-l-air-a-paris-7101
If you want the LinkedIn post I can dig that up too, lmk
Thanks, that's exactly what I was hoping for.

All things that ANY city could do if it weren't for NIMBYs and a lack of political will to.
I heard they places 2 days old baguettes on the streets as speed bumps.
a little extreme isn't it ? my suspension would be ruined
That's your own fault for not owning a Citroën!
spoiler
Between the 2CV, which was designed to transport a basket of eggs across a plowed field without breaking them, and the hydropneumatic suspension used in later cars, the French car company Citroën is pretty famous for its suspension designs.
