The heavy dependency on private cars has shaped the design of
cities. While offering fast, comfortable, and convenient commutes,
cars have become the most popular method of transportation, but are
also a health crisis due to the toxic emissions they release into
the atmosphere as well as the high death toll from traffic
accidents. For these reasons, there is a need to minimize the use
of cars within cities in favor of greener and humanized urban
design that would improve the quality of life and reduce the global
threat of climate change. Humanizing Cities Through Car-Free City
Development and Transformation is an essential publication that
explores the concepts of car-free cities and city humanization as
possible solutions to reduce the deteriorating effect on the
environment and the community. The publication discusses the urban
initiative to implement pedestrianization and humanization of
cities and public spaces to promote the concept of car-free living.
Featuring coverage on a wide range of topics including city
humanization, smart mobility, and urban policies, this book is
ideally designed for urban planners, environmentalists, government
officials, policymakers, architects, transportation authorities,
researchers, academicians, and students.
