Links - Examples of carfree projects

Many successful projects have been implemented around the world that have reduced or eliminated car use in central cities while bringing life back to previously unpleasant urban areas.

Following is a sampling of projects; we welcome your links as well. An even more comprehensive "List of Carfree Places" (which was originally on Joel Crawford's carfree.com site, can be found here. This collaborative online project is on Wikipedia, meaning that anyone can contribute, modify or delete entries.

Links to German cities and cities worldwide can be found at Markus Heller's Autofrei Wohnen.
