STOCKHOLM ANNOUNCES BANS ON GAS- AND DIESEL-POWERED CARS IN CITY CENTER
Last week, Stockholm’s vice mayor for transport announced that the Swedish capital will ban gas-and diesel-powered cars from significant portions of its city center starting in 2025. The initiative is aimed at improving air quality and reducing traffic noise in the city (Reuters). It establishes an environmental zone encompassing 20 blocks in the inner city, which includes upscale shopping districts and some of Sweden's most expensive office properties.
