I don't understand why cities even allow cars. For example Amsterdam would work so much better if the roads became bike/electric-scooter* lanes with limited car access.

In New York (well, Manhattan), London and Paris it would work even better because you have a subway.

That would also solve the air quality problems of those cities in one fell swoop.

* Gas scooters - particularly two-stroke - are a relic from the past and need to be banned.

It wouldn't work in Paris, with the current infrastructure, there's a lot of places that can't be easily reached with a car. In addition, there's a lot traffic that goes through Paris from one subburb to another.
