We also discuss the current transformation currently underway, including in Paris under the firm, visionary leadership of Mayor Hildalgo.\nWatch the video version of this episode to get the full effect.\nLanding page for the episode\nHelpful Links (note that some may include affiliate links to help me support the channel):\n- Gil's main website\n- 8 80 Cities website\n- Gil's YouTube Channel\n- Sign up page for the 15-Minute City Webinar\n- Streetfilms video of Ciclovia\nFour Easy Steps to Support My Efforts:\n1.
