The times have changed in this modern world that we are in now. In the past, the trend of urban development was measured by how many cars can be seen in the cities. Now, it goes the other way around thanks to environmentally concerned propagandas, pursuing car-free cities to be the models of a new and urbanized world.
Oslo
The city of Oslo is in an aggressive plan to ban all cars inside the center of the city by the year 2019. This is four years before the famous country-wide ban of cars to take effect in Norway.
Madrid
Madrid also is planning to ban all vehicles inside the 500-acre territory inside the heart of the city by 2020. Urban developers are also undergoing redesigning efforts to the 24 busiest streets of Madrid, making them more fit for walking rather than driving.
Chengdu, China
Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill, two of the finest architects in Chicago are finishing the completion of their innovative residential design to enable residents to walk anywhere surrounding the location in just 15 minutes.
Hamburg
Hamburg wanted to promote walking and biking as the major mode of transportation. The city wants to reduce the number of vehicles inside the city, by banning them.
Copenhagen
Based on Statistics, the population of the city of Copenhagen doesn't user cars, but instead use bicycles as the main mode of transportation.
Paris
The banning of vehicles with even numbered plates have been banned in Paris since 2014 and has since then reduced 30% of its pollution. The city takes it to the next level as it plans to ban driving in the heart of Paris.
London
London is very keen to the issue as they charge a fee of $12.50 per day to all diesel-fuelled cars that roam the roads during peak hours. It is also known as a congestion charge.
Brussels
Brussels' city square, stock exchange, and Rue Neuve continue to solely be for pedestrians. It is also the second largest car free zone in Europe, second to Copenhagen.
Mexico City
Mexico City also takes part of the solution as it decides to ban cars from driving into the main routes of the city two days in a work week, and two Saturdays every month.
New York City
Pedestrian plazas are now underway in New York in order to support its campaign of planning to turn New York into a city that thrives with pedestrians, but not with vehicles.
