Architects plan a "pedestrain palace" - Paris 2100

A new exhibit, which is the work of Yannick Gourvil and Cécile Leroux of the architecture firm Collectif et alors, is now displaying pictures of what Paris is hoping to look like for the year 2100 due to climate change. This new and improved city will be "a pedestrian paradise," where pedestrians rule and there are no cars, a roof garden on very building, and redesigned river banks and biking systems, just to name a few improvements. Paris is calling this new city a utopian, as it would be nothing short of paradise if these plans were to actually follow through. It is wishful thinking, but nothing is impossible! Check out a full article on this exhibit at the Treehugger website here. Here are a couple photos they had displayed to give you an idea of what they have in mind:
