What we will never ever get in Germany 😭
Cluster Fcku@wortezimmer @cmconseils no but remember this is Paris not France. Like Düsseldorf (Rheinufer) is not Germany. Many cities go through these transformations and it's not an international social media share. Your observation and disappointment shows how pervasive car culture still is throughout all cities, and it won't go away on its own. Citizens need to keep pushing for it, voting for it, and sharing the positive benefits.

Obviously you've no clue what I'm talking about. But thank you for explaining the big confusing world to me, anyway.

Well, explain it to us. Why can't it happen? What makes Germany different?
I was totally surprised that Paris had managed to change so substantiality when we were there last year.
I haven't been to Berlin in a long while, but my impression was that they too were on their way to make the city more livable, with less space for cars.
Mind you, not all of Paris is now green and car free, but they've done a lot.

Since you mention Berlin: Berlin has stopped building planned cycle infrastructure, has opened a street for cars again and removes cycle infrastructure in other streets as well.
@MennoWolff
The automotive lobby is very strong in Germany, and I don't see us ever winning against them. That's also why Germany is fighting for combustion engines in the EU.
Change is happening here and there, but never something really groundbreaking and gamechanging like in Paris.

The automotive lobby is also very strong in the country that gives the world Citroën, Peugeot, and Renault.
(I'm not saying that I have an answer for Germany because I don't)
