The quays alongside the River Seine in Paris were once used by boats unloading deliveries but 50 years ago they began to be taken over by the motor car. Now the process has been put into reverse, with a mile-and-a-half (2.4km) of quayside reclaimed this year for fun-seekers and pedestrians.
Shame Boris isn't thinking along the same lines, rather than trying to sell London off to the Chinese.
There's also an interesting bit about a supermarket chain deciding to use the river rather than roads to move freight.
