Auto Free Design (Philosophy of Action, Design and Multiplicity, #1)
Description
Auto Free Design Many people can't get to work, school, or stores because using a car is too expensive. Auto Free Design provides a way for people to move without a vehicle. As cities invest in infrastructure for walking, bicycling, and transit, people will have more options to see family, friends, and fellow workers. As people walk, ride bicycles, and use transit, their health may improve as they get more exercise. If vehicle use is reduced, people may be exposed to less pollution. With less cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, people may live longer. Transit is safer, cheaper, and provides time to rest, eat, sleep, and relax, as professional drivers handle driving. Auto Free Design outlines a way to transform urban areas to enable sustainable transport and development, allowing people to move and live in ways that cause the least damage to air, land, water, plants, animals, and people. Auto free design presents a way for people to live well without owning a vehicle.
