Car-free cities

We need cities for people – not for cars

Part of the project: Building blocks for climate justice

Car-free cities are a relevant contribution to a just mobility transition. In addition to their potential for CO2 reduction, they offer scope for improving the quality of life through clean air, space for social interaction, and greater safety.

Cars take up an enormous amount of space in our cities, are responsible for the majority of traffic accidents, and are responsible for noise and air pollution. For cities to provide space for a good and healthy life, the number of cars must be drastically reduced.
