Yes, the car-free zones in major Japanese and European cities are burning down to the ground. Leaving nothing but a burned-out cinder where there used to be a city.

Or perhaps not.

As the people who live there attest, the car-free zones are booming hubs of business and commerce with high property values because people really, really want to live there.
