Car-free city

A car-free city is an urban area without motor vehicles. Car-free cities rely on public transport, walking, and cycling for travel, as opposed to private motor vehicles. The term "car-free zone" is applied to districts where motor vehicles are prohibited. The concept of the car-free city model gained traction in the second half of the 20th century due to congestion and infrastructure issues, as well as the proposed environmental and quality of life benefits. Many cities in Asia, Europe, and Africa have car-free areas because they were created before the invention of motor vehicles, In addiction, many developing cities in Asia are adopting the car-free model to modernize their infrastructure.
