Did you know?!
Worldwide, many other cities and towns participate in World Car Free Day. Places like Brussels (all 161 sq km) are car free for a day. Imagine that! Imagine cities and towns where people come first, and where planners know that increasing road space for cars simply increases congestion, by making other forms of transport harder to use.
