This Sunday, Parisians will vote on a pivotal referendum regarding the transformation of 500 streets into car-free zones. If approved, the initiative will eliminate 10,000 parking spaces and enhance green spaces across the city.

This referendum represents a significant step in Paris's ongoing transportation transition, building on the existing network of over 200 car-free streets while striving for a greener urban landscape.
