A colleague of mine attended a walking and cycling conference last week. One of the speakers was the deputy mayor of Paris. An interesting statistic he brought back was that apparently only 4% of journeys made in Paris use cars. An article by the BBC in 2023 suggests that 38% of journeys in outer London and 19% in inner London are made by car.
I'm sure that there's more to dissect there, there seem to be a lot more mopeds/scooters etc in Paris than in London for example (the source for this being my anecdotal, personal experience) but it seems that they're doing something right over there.
