Why Car Free Cities Are The Future

Can we make our cities car free? As Pollution and congestion continue to rise but there is hope!

Join us on a journey, where architects, engineers, and activists face up to the challenges of our future urban mobility. The generations of young people who will inherit our cities are already looking for quick and direct ways of improving our urban lives now.

In Germany, cars sit unused for 23 hours a day on average, each wasting about 12 square metres in parking space. That's as big as the typical German child's bedroom.

One such company looking to change the way we move in the cities is Schaeffler and their vehiclelike The Mover, Schaeffler's idea foresees people using autonomous vehicles from a fleet working 24/7. These multi-functional, emissions-free vehicles could transport people and goods or provide services. By sharing the vehicles, people could free up huge areas of space previously dedicated to parking. But are we really ready to have robots driving everywhere?

Is the future for our cities one without traditional cars?

For may people, that's hard to imagine. But things are beginning to move in that direction. The question is, what do we do with space when the cars have gone?
