Yeah, I'm sure everyone who owns a business in that area is thrilled with this idea. TheGuardian.com is reporting that Stockholm plans to become the first big capital city to ban gas and diesel-powered cars from its centre, in an effort to slash pollution and reduce noise.
From 2025, 20 blocks of Stockholm’s inner city area, spanning its finance and main shopping districts, will be restricted to electric vehicle traffic only. A decision on whether to expand the zone will be made in early 2025.
Announcing the plan, Lars Stromgren, the city’s vice-mayor for transport, came out with this ridiculous statement: “Nowadays, the air in Stockholm causes babies to have lung conditions and the elderly to die prematurely. We need to eliminate the harmful exhaust gases from petrol and diesel cars. That’s why we are introducing the most ambitious low-emission zone to date.”

About the same as the US, but for a different reason. You cant go into inner large cities to do business, go to games, or eat, because it's waaaay to dangerous. You are lucky if they only steal your car.
