Talk:Pedestrian-oriented development

Need for Separate Articles

"Pedestrian-friendly" is not the same as "carfree." Some areas that still admit cars can be regarded as pedestrian-friendly (such as the Dutch "woonerf" or "home zone), but these places cannot be regarded as carfree in the sense in which the word is used by people in the movement. "Carfree" means literally that--there are never any cars (but sometimes emergency vehicles and in some cases also delivery vans). J.H. Crawford 1 May 2006


 * "Pedestrian-friendly" as Joel explains is not only different from "carfree', it is also an important safety and quality of life activity in in tself which merits its own place here. What we need is to improve the entry. (When I have time, he pleads.) ericbritton 17:38, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

This is a very nice page indeed and while it can be expanded a bit, I vote we leave it as a separate item. All of these building blocks of more sustainable cities, including the New Mobility Agenda, are very different and we need those differences. ericbritton 16:19, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
