1 simple trick Paris used 🇫🇷
Spoiler alert: Everybody can...💪🏽
Paris transformed from a 'red hotspot' of pollution to a green oasis of cleaner air.
The secret? Decisive Action.
✅ DO - what Paris implemented:
➡️ Created 1.400km of protected bike lanes and cycling infrastructure.
➡️ Established low emission zones.
➡️ Transformed riverbanks into pedestrian zones.
➡️ Introduced the 15-minute city concept.
❌ DON'T (what was banned):
➡️ Banned through traffic in city center.
➡️ Prohibited older diesel vehicles.
➡️ Restricted SUVs with higher parking fees.
➡️ Removed 70.000 parking spaces for cars.
Paris shows that real change is possible - in a relative short amount of time.
It's not rocket since.
Kudos to Paris' Mayor Hidalgo.

These maps come from the APUR (Atelier Parisien d'Urbanisme) and are based on data from Airparif, an organisation responsible for monitoring air quality in Paris. They are available on the City of Paris website:

These maps show the annual average of NO2 (nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant mainly emitted by petrol and diesel vehicles).

To produce this data, Airparif uses numerical models and validates the results through measurement campaigns as well as a fixed network of sensors.

This improvement is largely due to the reduction in traffic, as highlighted by a study from APUR. However, things are still far from perfect, as several thresholds recommended by the WHO were exceeded in 2022.
