"How will your grocery stores get their shipments?" The plans don't prohibit vehicles entirely. For example, http://circulatieplan.be/en/content/faq http://circulatieplan.be/en/content/faq describes the plan for Brussels: > How are deliveries to be made in the pedestrian zone? > Deliveries can be made in the pedestrian zone between 4 am and 11 am. At other times. Deliveries are only permitted in exceptional circumstances. The regulations for the pedestrian zone can be found here. The "found here" document is in French, which I cannot read. > Do you really want the necessary human or animal-powered commercial traffic such a city would require? ??? Who says that mass transit, taxis, etc. will all be removed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_car-free_places https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_car-free_places lists many places which are car free. The more general term is "pedestrian zone"; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_zone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_zone for a description of the variety of possible meanings. Few if any turn 'roadways into something more like the railways'.
