What if rethinking the role of the car was the defining challenge for cities in the 21st century?

European cities are already competing to find ways to keep the most polluting vehicles out of their centres. An overview of the wide range of measures in place highlights the growing regulation and taxation of urban mobility.

Which choices deliver which results? Is restricting car use the only way to reduce the share of journeys made by private car? And could this drive to improve air quality be concealing negative externalities?

Our guests shed light on cities’ relentless pursuit of change:

• Thibauld Phillips, Mayor of Illkirch-Graffenstaden in the Bas-Rhin département.

• Arabel Chambre-Foa, Project Director at La Fabrique de la Cité, a think tank focused on urban foresight founded by the Vinci Group.

• Jean Louis Carrasco, Director of Urban Logistics at La Poste Courrier et Colis.
