Edinburgh is such a walkable city, I had a fantastic half a decade living there (without a car, apart from the rental one when moving there). This sounds like the right move to maintain the pedestrian-friendliness and to keep the air cleaner.

However, the houses there are often old/historic, with very inefficient heating systems (some even use electricity to heat up a bunch of bricks, which then emits the heat to keep warm) - shocking! Also, windows are not normally with double or triple glass, and sometimes it is not permissible to change these because many buildings are protected.
