The Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, has presented her wishes for 2025 to the elected representatives of Paris. On this occasion, she indicated her wish to accelerate her projects before the end of her term of office, announcing in particular the goal of completing 120 pedestrianization and greening projects in the capital by 2025.

Following the introduction of the Zone à Trafic Limité in the heart of Paris, the restriction of access to Crit'Air 3 vehicles and the reduction of the speed limit on the Périphérique, the capital is preparing to pursue measures in favor of its ecological transition, notably by limiting the role of the car in Paris. This Wednesday, January 15, 2025, as she presented her new year's greetings to the capital's elected representatives, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo expressed her determination for the end of her term of office, and her desire to accelerate her projects before stepping down in the next municipal elections.

On this occasion, the Mayor of Paris shared some of her objectives for2025, including the completion of 120 pedestrianization and greening projects across the capital. These include the pedestrianization of the Butte Montmartre and the urban forest project on the square in front of the Hôtel de Ville in the heart of Paris, as well as on the Place du Colonel-Fabien. The new year should also bring its share of transformations in the capital, with more pedestrianized streets and green spaces. Measures which, on the contrary, reduce the role of the automobile in Paris.
