Lace up your walking shoes. Tune up your bicycle. Ditch your keys. Today is World Car Free Day.
The global event to reclaim streets from the automobile has been building momentum since it launched in Toledo, Spain 16 years ago.
Network blog The City Fix is offering a glimpse of what different cities throughout the world are planning to reassert people’s right to the road:
Austria: Seven cities will compete to see which type of transportation – bike, mass transit, car, bus – is fastest in each city.
Shanghai, China: In an improvement from last year, seven square blocks around the Shanghai World Expo will be closed to car traffic.
