I don't know where this romanticizing of car free cities & no cars comes from, but it has gotten a hold in the eco / environmentalist camp and is being spread like shit on a farm.
It's false advertising. Copenhagen for instance has a very nice climate and is a compact and flat city which lends itself nicely to bicycle transport, not all cities are equal by a long shot.
- barbazoo 4y agoMany are though, so we probably shouldn't dismiss a solution only because it doesn't apply to a subset of cities.
