Problem
The majority of the world population still lives without a car and even in wealthy European cities up to 50 % of households live carfree.\\

to:

April 17, 2007:\\

Changed lines 3-6 from:

However, urban settlements around the world continue to follow the car-oriented planning blueprint of the industrialised nations (the "North"), producing sprawling mega-agglomerations. This pattern of development increases car dependence as well as the wasteful consumption of limited oil reserves and results in a general decrease in quality of life.\\

The purpose is to demonstrate the (ecological, financial, health, etc) advantages of living in a carfree development, and that there is latent demand for these quality of life benefits. Worldwide dissemination of the examples shall promote transformation of settlements towards sustainable patterns of development, independent from car use.

Project process
World Carfree Network Pilot Project team:
A team of experts in urban planning and transport from member organisations will be established to prepare and manage the project, assist municipal planning teams and monitor implementation.\\

Changed lines 38-40 from:

to:

  • An area of sufficient size to allow the advantages of carfree living (space for people, safety, lack of noise pollution, etc) to be experienced and to accommodate a population and urban density high enough to support internal retail businesses and services (about 10 hectares). The entire development must be designated as a completely carfree settlement

  • The area should be integrated in an axis of settlements with sufficient population to support attractive local public transport (high frequency of service and long operating hours)

  • The necessary plots must be available and the municipality or developer/investor must commit to implementation

Changed lines 47-52 from:

Step 2 - Planning The communities establish project teams of public (municipality, government agency) and private (planners, developers/investors, non-profit organisation, citizens) members, which should include experts in transport planning and urban design. Project teams should work together closely to share ideas and find solutions to problems that may occur. Technical assistance for the communities will be provided by the World Carfree Network Pilot Project team. Members of the Network's Advisory Board could assist this team.
