Paris – Transforming Public Space to Serve the Public

Over the last two decades, Paris, France — the 2023 Sustainable Transport Award winner — has been spearheading inspirational work to reclaim its streets from vehicles and turn them into inviting networks of walking and cycling paths and public spaces. More recently, under a bold vision to become a 100% cycle-friendly city, Paris has been proving that investing in soft infrastructure can be revolutionary for its millions of residents. The growth of cycling infrastructure is helping alleviate traffic congestion and, for many Parisians, offering more active and sustainable mobility options. Similarly, investments into improving public space has created safer and healthier environments for communities and especially for local school children. With complementary planning measures like ‘15-minute neighborhoods’, the city is further implementing a vision for  increasing access to city services through sustainable and inclusive mobility.

Join us to hear from the first-hand experiences of officials from the City of Paris as they continue to implement strategies and interventions that will enhance and support the  well-being of all of its residents.

This event will feature live interpretations in French, Portuguese, and Spanish.
