Car-Free Environments and Shared Streets
Car-free places are a sustainable solution to the increasing financial and environmental costs of fuel related to the heavy reliance on private vehicles. Improved quality of life and public health are important benefits which result from walkable, car-free designs. This chapter discusses how communities can reduce car traffic and relying instead on walking, biking, and the use of public transit. The methods explored outline how to integrate streets, pedestrian paths, parking spaces, and public transit to create a desirable, walkable environment.
