We also discuss the current transformation currently underway, including in Paris under the firm, visionary leadership of Mayor Hildalgo.Watch the video version of this episode to get the full effect.Landing page for the episodeHelpful Links (note that some may include affiliate links to help me support the channel):- Gil's main website- 8 80 Cities website- Gil's YouTube Channel- Sign up page for the 15-Minute City Webinar- Streetfilms video of CicloviaFour Easy Steps to Support My Efforts:1.
