Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'car-free cities'

The urban planning concept where cities are designed or redesigned to minimize or eliminate private automobile use, prioritizing pedestrians, cyclists, and public transportation. Car-free cities address environmental concerns like pollution and climate change, while promoting improved public health, social interaction, and more efficient land use. This approach to urban development represents both a return to pre-automobile urban forms and a forward-looking response to contemporary sustainability challenges.
