City without Cars

Venice[edit]

The city of Venice serves as an example of how a modern city can function completely without cars.^[15] This design was unintentional as the city was founded over 1,500 years ago, a long time before the invention of the automobile. Visitors who drive to the city or residents who own a car must park their car in a carpark outside of the city and then proceed either by foot or train into the city.^[15] The predominant method of transportation in the city is by foot, however motorized waterbuses (vaporetti) which travel the city’s canals are also available.^[15]
