All across Paris, streets that used to be choked with traffic and pollution have been converted to bike paths and protected lanes.

Riverside highways have been converted to cafes, playgrounds, and even beaches.

Streets that used to be filled with parked cars are now full of trees and bike parking.

So what’s going on in Paris and what can cities around the world learn from this massive project?

If you want to read more about Paris urbanism and cycling infrastructure, I recommend following and read the work of Henry Grabar at Slate and Feargus O'Sullivan at Bloomberg. I wouldn't have been able to make this video without their work.
