"Environmental health: The revival of the great Parisian squares "

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

The revival of the great Parisian squares
Paris is modernizing to improve its air quality. The introduction of the all-car has resulted in a crowded, filthy metropolis where space and energy are unnecessarily used. The goal is clear: to clean up and liberate today's and tomorrow's Paris.
Major expectations have emerged: more vegetation, more space for pedestrians, to move around better and to have pleasant moments
protected spaces for bicycles and less space for cars Less noise
