	Auto-free zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Central Copenhagen is one of the largest and oldest examples: the auto-free zone is centered on Strøget, a pedestrian shopping street, but it is in fact not a single street but a series of interconnected avenues which create a very large auto-free zone, although it is crossed in places by streets with vehicular traffic.
		There are a great many auto-free zones in Southern European hill towns and villages, such as the Cinque Terre in Italy, since many, if not most of the streets are too steep and/or narrow for automobile circulation.
		Auto-free zones have a great variety of attitudes or rules towards human powered vehicles such as bicycles, inline skates, skateboards and push scooters.

		Muslims are thought to have originated the idea of formal zoning (see haram and hima and the more general notion of khalifa, or "stewardship" from which they arise), although modern usage in the West largely dates from the ideas of the Congres Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne.
		While it is rare that cities are planned from scratch (and, in case, with some risk of unsuccessful examples like for Brasília), planners are important in managing the growth of cities, applying tools like zoning to manage the uses of land, and growth management to manage the pace of development.
		The modern theory of natural capital emphasizes this as the primary difference between natural and infrastructural capital, and seeks an economic basis for rationalizing a move back towards smaller village units.

	CarFree City, USA..... Building the first CarFree City in the USA
		Carfree districts are large areas (at least 100 acres) in towns or cities where automobiles and most motorized vehicles are excluded, so that residents can conduct most of their everyday activities without having to be in or around cars.

		Carfree development is ideally suited to car-sharing, which further decreases the number of vehicles and parking spaces needed.

		A home zone is a street or group of streets designed to meet the interests of local residents.
		Home zones are specifically designed to cater to the needs of local residents so they must be involved from the start.
		The key to creating a successful home zone is to develop a street design that makes drivers feel it is normal to drive slowly and carefully and that encourages the community to take advantage of this environment.

		Perhaps there are no carfree places, insofar as we (in the modern world) all live in “auto-space” (as the authors of Ecology of the Automobile call modern society).
