My next question is for the RIAI. Ms Sheridan mentioned that Freiburg is a good example of long-term planning and of a city that reflects environmental sustainability, walkability, permeability, cycling, reduced car use and the safety of public spaces that goes with that. Is there anything in this Bill that indicates that is the direction we are moving towards or that it could be facilitated? I have been looking at the Bill and trying to find examples of anything that would indicate that.
