This blog post by Enrique Dans discusses Paris's successful efforts to reduce pollution under Mayor Anne Hidalgo through measures like limiting car traffic and expanding public transportation. Dans highlights the significant decrease in air pollution levels as evidence of these policies' effectiveness.

While acknowledging potential criticism and difficulties in implementation, the article argues that well-designed and supported plans can lead to positive environmental outcomes, offering Paris as a model for other cities.

The subsequent comments reflect diverse opinions on the Parisian approach and discuss related urban mobility and environmental policies in other cities, including debate around low-emission zones and the role of public transport.
