Maybe I’m not understanding things properly but, aren’t the latter four points also good to fight against pollution? Or is it just car-brained people complaining that they cannot take their car wherever they want anymore?
I think it’s more meant in a push/pull way. So what did they do to incentive people to take an alternative to a car and how did they punish people who do take a car.
My interpretation is that the first list is new positive things they built to make it feasible and the second list are actions they took to reduce the things causing negative impacts.
Between the 2CV, which was designed to transport a basket of eggs across a plowed field without breaking them, and the hydropneumatic suspension used in later cars, the French car company Citroën is pretty famous for its suspension designs.
Some background info from LinkedIn:

❌ What Paris Left Behind:
Edit: fixed formatting for mobile / app
Change the ❌ for a ♻️. It almost looks like a "what Paris did wrong " section

All things that ANY city could do if it weren’t for NIMBYs and a lack of political will to.
What do you mean by left behind? Those 4 points have been implemented as far as I know

You can ask them if you want. I’ll post a screenshot next time to avoid confusion, sorry.

Will do, thanks!
I heard they places 2 days old baguettes on the streets as speed bumps.
a little extreme isn’t it ? my suspension would be ruined
That’s your own fault for not owning a Citroën!

LinkedIn did this research? Can you post the source?
No, someone just posted a nice summary. I usually reverse image search posts on here to find sources and additional info.
This page shows the reports: https://www.paris.fr/pages/etat-des-lieux-de-la-qualite-de-l-air-a-paris-7101
If you want the LinkedIn post I can dig that up too, lmk
Thanks, that’s exactly what I was hoping for.
