Travelling around the world to look at, and consider, cities that have created major sections free of motor vehicles, Melbourne’s Bruce Echberg was able to report about these successes for the Urban Design Forum (UDF).
“Promoting motorless zones not only makes cities more friendly for those on foot or cycling. The change can also improve air quality and congestion as well as help preserve historic streets that might otherwise be damaged by constant use and overcrowding”, he wrote on the UDF’s website.
