Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo: ‘A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century’ ft.com/content/8fbad7…
Mayor of Paris is leading the most ambitious effort worldwide to wean people off cars. She is redesigning transport, housing, jobs + public space so residents have the choice of living without long, polluting commutes. Cycling is now key to mobility. This is what leaders do.
@jen_keesmaat “A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century” Ironically, her efforts have created absolute gridlock in the city.
@jen_keesmaat @Ron_Nirenberg @DrSukhD1 , inspirational vision…
@jen_keesmaat If we had the public transit that Paris offers, we wouldn’t rely on cars either.
@jen_keesmaat A city’s wealth doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century
@jen_keesmaat Pooh, Horses, carts & trams sedans chairs, rickshaws & bicycles?
@jen_keesmaat Paris leads the 15-minutes city transformation and time will surely tell just as the Amsterdam's bicycle transformation in 1973 which has now become a global model for other cities to copy. The 15-minutes city and the 3-30-300 models are gaining wider global acceptance.
@jen_keesmaat That mayor banned the E-bike on the street of Paris
