I remember being told that it would take 193 years to reach legal limits for nitrogen dioxide.

I decided this was unacceptable.

Thanks to the bold policies we put in place, we've managed to do it in nine years - 184 years earlier than expected.

Eerste Jacob van Campenstraat, Amsterdam in 1967 and today

In 1967 there is a pub on the corner on the left and in front a wide road with cars parked along both sides. Today the pub is a restaurant with outdoor seating and the road is narrow, paved with trees and greenery. Two people cycle side by side
