    I’ve lived in Britain, Germany and Portugal during the period since 2009 and saw no big improvements in pedestrian infrastructure beyond a few streets being closed to traffic and turned fully pedestrianised.

    The biggest change I saw was improved infrastructure for cycling, rather than for pedestrians.

      Paris and Vienna certainly had a lot going on in this regard since 2009. (Brussels too) I am not talking about the odd pedestrianisation.

      A lot of streets have been redesigned, that has often benefitted both, pedestrians and cyclists and added more greenery and trees.
