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
My interpretation is that the first list is new positive things they built to make it feasible and the second list are actions they took to reduce the things causing negative impacts.
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

All things that ANY city could do if it weren't for NIMBYs and a lack of political will to.
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.
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.
