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.

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
