❌ 155.000 trees: false. A lot of young shoots were planted, and are planted, but few resist (https://lc.cx/S9GjIQ). Moreover, most of the planted shoots are in the woods (Boulogne, Vincennes), hence do not take part in urban greening. ✔ 40% less pollution: rather true. Overall, pollution in Paris decreased in the last few years (https://lc.cx/AEZz__). Some pollutants, particularly ozone, have increased. But NO2 did decrease by 40%. PM10 (particulate matter <10 µm), despite less precise figures, also decreased by 40%. 🤔 Bike path: ambiguous. 36% of the 2800 km (1008 km) of bike paths in Paris’ metropol are intra muros (https://lc.cx/PValfm), but the article states that this figure includes bike lanes, bike paths and one-way roads against the car traffic. So they probably are not 550 km of smooth, safe, bike paths as it could be understood. ✔ School streets: true (https://lc.cx/oQoCzn). They consist of pedestrianised roads around nursery and primary schools, the created routes are safer for children, but also combat pollution. ✔ Playgrounds: rather true, but most of them are school playgrounds, not public ones (https://lc.cx/TSYpV3).
