I am trying to get this going and shall be in touch immediately with some of the main movers and shakers in this movement to see if thay can pitch in and do something with this. ericbritton 10:27, 30 December 2005 (UTC)


Good start, Eric. I might point out that the title is about cities, but the article seems directed at the movement. I would propose we also point out;

  • Characteristics of carfree cities (existing or envisioned)
  • Effects of such characteristics on traffic, pollution, stress, noise, vehicular accidents, commuting times, etc,
  • Examples of current carfree (or nearly so) cities/districts.

I agree with most of that Skyemoor, though the link to examples of carfree districts and cities pretty much covers that one point. I can email J.H. Crawford and attempt to get the authorization to use some of his diagrams from the book, which I feel would greatly benefit this article. Agentplant 21:58, 13 November 2007 (PST)
