Paris School Streets: Safe for Children, Safe for Everyone

For many years now advocates and communities around the world have been focussed on Paris School Streets not only because they make streets safer on those blocks for kids but by the swift and ample number of the high quality implementation of them. In the last 4 years there have been many thousands of social media photos of the school streets in action, presentations by academics & safe streets advocates and even a few video clips and an occasional news report from Paris on them, but there hasn’t been anything on the scale of even a short film. So I set out to change that interviewing some people that could give a good amount of background on Paris School Streets. (And even two folks from the U.S. who frequent Paris I interviewed in NYC on some of our nicer places.) I didn’t get everyone I wanted on film, one of my prime interviews came down with Covid(!!). But I hope you enjoy this. It is truly remarkable.
