Visions for the future

In Autumn 2022, we held workshops in London, New York, and Paris to re-imagine three landmark places in a future free from car dependency. We then polled Londoners, New Yorkers, and Parisians and found overwhelming support for our visions.

We launched the visions at a showcase event in November 2022 and brought together the Mayoral teams of London, Paris, and New York to raise ambition on cutting private car use in our biggest cities. We were joined by:

• David Belliard, deputy mayor in Paris, in charge of transformation of public spaces, transportation, mobility, rules and regulations on city streets and road management

• Seb Dance, deputy mayor of transport in London

• Ydanis Rodriguez, commissioner of the Department of Transportation in New York

• Doug Gordon, co-host of “The War On Cars” podcast

• Hirra Khan Adeogun, head of Car Free Megacities

• Cathy Lamri, co-chair of "Paris Sans Voiture" and co-creator of “La Voie est Libre”

• Juan Restrepo, senior organiser at Transportation Alternatives in New York

• Andrew Simms, co-director of the New Weather Institute
