Our Wonderful Green FutureMayor Anne Hidalgo is removing 70,000 of its 140,000 on-street parking spaces, to make the city greener and more people-friendly. De-paving is a particularly effective tool in the fight against climate change; improving carbon absorption, heat mitigation, rain retention, and bio-diversity.<br>
Every shift away from space-hogging cars creates new opportunities to vegetate urban streets.<br>
As Paris shows, the best way to remake a city is through transport. By changing how people move, Mayor Hidalgo is changing the spaces they use; transitioning from hostile, asphalt- and car-dominated places to ones more vibrant, welcoming, and resilient to the challenges of today.
