The traffic condition in my city is unbearable, streets made for 19th century carriages overflowing with parked cars. Pedestrization is going veeeery slowly, with heated resistance from people who would drive to their own bathrooms if they could.

Pronunciation: Muh. Probably
I like your guess but I feel like it’s mow.
Someone French please help!
French person to the rescue.
It’s \mo\ or “m-oh”.
Not French, but to me it reads as “M-yoo”
In my accent I’d say “mo”.
Was that a street or a parking lot? Because I see cars on the far right side, and this dead ends anyway.
That’s just a street in Europe, it’s what they look like.
On first glance I thought this could have been a two way road with trees in the middle and they closed one way for this pedestrian area.
But it actually was some kind of parking lot/access street. The actual Rue de Meaux continues straight on while what we’re looking at is just a 100m long off-branch.
Gorgeous
Looks pathetic and sad actually…
the first pic, yeah
Bottom one too. They both do. Top one is usual garbage, the bottom one just looks…horribly fake, no proper room for trees. Gonna be a shit show in a few years
I wish I lived somewhere pathetic… Jk I live in Tx
would look better with flowers
Paris has so many flowers that there are more bees inside Paris than outside Paris.
Although that’s also because of the pesticides used outside Paris.
It looks like they’re going for natural wildflowers, which means that there will be periods of time where it’s basically all just green. What you get in return though is lots of interesting grasses but the image is pretty low resolution so you can’t really see all that.
Absolutely gorgeous. It goes to show how wonderful a space can be if you design it right.
Could argue it’s Less street 😁
This is awesome. What did all those people do with their cars?
Who cares?
Nobody needs a car in Paris
OK then I will bite.
How do workers and tradespeople get to these places? When their refrigerator breaks and they need a repair or a new one, are those delivered on a bike?
When someone buys a mattress, do they just helicopter them in?
When people move into these apartments how does the furniture get moved in? Movers just carry it a full city block?
How do plumbers and electricians bring their equipment in? How do tilers, roofers, people who replace windows get to these places?
How do emergency services get in here? Fire trucks just dont anymore?
I dislike traffic, congestion and poor air quality, but the idea that we don’t need roads is just silly. Manage them, dont delete them. This is the folly of the bourgeois.
how many parking spaces are erased? 20?
Very few Parisians own cars
I dream about stuff like this
As part of her climate change plan, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo is pedestrianizing streets, building bike lanes, and planting trees. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions, reduce traffic noise and make the city more able to resist heat.
She has been very aggressive and upset some car drivers. But the results are starting to pay off.
I fucking LOVE this. What an awesome humanistic policy!
