I don't think most advocates for reduction in car dependency in urban environments think that trades people shouldn't have vehicles to carry tools and materials around in.
- rufus_foreman 3y agoThe title of the article mentions car-free cities. I don't interpret that to mean that a Ford F-150 is fine, do you?
- ghaff 3y agoThe title may imply this but the article really doesn't. Go to an actual "car-less" area of a city like Brussels and there are delivery vehicles at least in the morning, work vehicles of various kinds, street sweepers, etc. Even at the relatively extreme end of pedestrianized malls, there are still a fair number of vehicles around.
- ghusto 3y agoThese are being targeted too, at least in the Netherlands. They were given a free ride for a while (pun very much intended) but now trade vans are also coming under the hammer.
- stetrain 3y agoI think this is one of the most extreme real-world examples of a "car-free" city, but they still have vehicles for taxis, public transport, public works, trades people, deliveries, etc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2oD1ZHNMFE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2oD1ZHNMFE
