Sinopse

For instance, car-centric planning often leads to increased respiratory illnesses and reduced social interaction.

It introduces the concept of car-free urbanism and presents evidence of its potential benefits, showcasing successful examples from around the world. Subsequent chapters delve into infrastructure development, policy interventions, and strategies for managing traffic and parking. The book uniquely offers practical strategies and actionable insights, adopting a conversational style to make complex concepts understandable.
