More and more European cities are closing their historic centres to private cars. Instead of traffic jams, residents now find wider pavements, bicycle lanes and trees where parking spaces used to be. The most obvious benefit is cleaner air, which matters enormously for children and older people. Streets also become quieter, and people tend to walk, cycle and stop for a coffee more often. Local cafés and small shops often benefit from this extra foot traffic, although their owners often do not expect it at first. However, not everyone is happy with the change. People who live outside the city and depend on their cars complain that they are being pushed away from the centre. Delivery drivers, tradespeople and people with disabilities also need special exceptions to do their jobs or live normally. Some shop owners also worry that customers from the suburbs will simply go to shopping centres with free parking instead. In my view, car-free centres work best when good public transport is introduced before the cars are removed, not after. Otherwise, the city simply becomes harder to reach, and the people who gain most are those who already live in the centre.
