Description edit
About Us
These pages are the on-line headquarters of the World Carfree Network, the hub of the global carfree movement, promoting alternatives to car dependence and automobile-based planning at the international level and working to reduce the human impact on the natural environment while improving the quality of life for all. Worldcarfree.net is a clearinghouse of information from around the world on how to revitalise our towns and cities and create a sustainable future. In addition to serving the carfree movement, Worldcarfree.net offers resources for architects, planners, teachers/professors, students, decision-makers and engaged citizens.
World Carfree Network grew out of the activities of Car Busters, an international organisation within the carfree movement founded in 1997. (The name Car Busters continues to be used for Car Busters magazine.) The network was formally launched at the Towards Carfree Cities IV conference in Berlin on July 23, 2004. Our goal is to build a more decentralised, structured network in which local, regional, national and international organisations take an active part. The network aims to provide a voice for its member organisations at the international level, and to create a framework for the organisations' international projects.
Several texts here in the About Us section explain this in more detail, while it should be emphasised that the network's development will be open and ever-evolving, based on the input of many.
