  • Car Free Cities

World Carfree Network uses the term "carfree movement" rather broadly, to refer to:

  • those promoting alternatives to car dependence and car culture, including alternative modes such as cycling, walking and public transport;
  • those promoting carfree lifestyle choices, within either a car-dependent, car-lite* or carfree local context;
  • those promoting the building of (usually mixed-use) carfree environments# on either brownfield or greenfield sites (usually sited to ensure easy access to a variety of non-automotive transport modes);
  • those promoting carfree days, using the events as tools to bring about long-term on-the-ground change in infrastructure and priorities (example: Bogota); and
  • those promoting the transformation of existing villages, towns and cities (or parts of them) into carfree environments.#
