Seminars and conferences

  • The Towards Carfree Cities conference series aims to bring together people who are promoting practical alternatives to car dependence. The focus is on strategy, collaboration and exchange, assisting the practical work of conference participants - whether it be organising carfree days, promoting urban cycling, or building the carfree cities of the future. Past conferences have been held in Lyon, Timisoara, Prague, Berlin, Budapest, Bogota and Istanbul (Conference Archive). The 2008 conference was held in Portland, Oregon, USA.
    The Towards Carfree Cities IX conference will be held in York, England, from Monday 28 June to Thursday 1 July 2010, followed by the World Carfree Network AGM on Friday 2 July.

  • In 2004, World Carfree Network coordinated the application process for the distribution of US$50,000 from a private donor.
