While we’re in a European mood, let’s go to Paris:
Here’s a wonderful little video from E2, the PBS program on sustainable design, picked up from the World Streets blog.
If you’re interested in content, watch it for an interesting view of a proposed car-sharing scheme modelled after the bike-sharing system called Velib.
But really, if you’d just like a little hit of Paris, all softly lit, rain-soaked, romantic (and that’s just the Parisians on their bikes, in their cafes), take a moment and click.
I don’t see what’s so different about this than the car sharing services offered around Metro Vancouver…Is this really so new and unheard of in a city like Paris?
I thought the most important comment was from the Deputy Mayor who said something like “the car should no longer be the reference mode of transportation”
