In Lima next Wednesday, the International Olympic Committee will rubber-stamp Paris as host of the 2024 Games. By the time the Games begin, Paris will be transformed. “Vehicles with combustion engines driven by private individuals” could well be banned from the city by then, says Jean-Louis Missika, the deputy mayor, whose responsibilities include urban planning. He gestures out of his office window in Paris’s city hall at the busy rue de Rivoli. By 2024, driverless shuttle buses should be going up and down the road all day. Olympic visitors will see a vision of the post-car city.
国际奥委会(International Olympic Committee)已在利马正式确认巴黎为2024年奥运会主办城市。到2024年奥运会拉开帷幕的时候,巴黎将发生翻天覆地的变化。巴黎副市长让-路易•米西卡(Jean-Louis Missika)表示,届时,巴黎很可能已禁止“个人驾驶的内燃机汽车”上路。米西卡的职责包括城市规划。在位于繁忙的里沃利街的巴黎市政厅办公室的窗前,他比划着说道。到2024年,无人驾驶摆渡巴士将整天在道路双向车道上行驶。奥运游客将看到一番后汽车时代城市的景象。
