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.
國際奧委會(International Olympic Committee)已在利馬正式確認巴黎爲2024年奧運會主辦城市。到2024年奧運會拉開帷幕的時候,巴黎將發生翻天覆地的變化。巴黎副市長讓-路易•米西卡(Jean-Louis Missika)表示,屆時,巴黎很可能已禁止「個人駕駛的內燃機汽車」上路。米西卡的職責包括城市規劃。在位於繁忙的裏沃利街的巴黎市政廳辦公室的窗前,他比劃著說道。到2024年,無人駕駛擺渡巴士將整天在道路雙向車道上行駛。奧運遊客將看到一番後汽車時代城市的景象。
