'Carfree areas seeking municipalities' - Call for applications 24-07-2007 European municipalities are invited to express interest in co-operating to
realise carfree model settlements in their area. Three of the responding
municipalities will be selected by a jury to participate in the international
“Carfree Area Pilot Project”. Finally, the project proposal will be submitted to
the European Commission under the programme “Intelligent energy – Europe”. The
deadline for sending an application is 10 August 2007.
The project is organised by the "World carfree network" (WCN) and is
supported by the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR). WCN is
an international network, which brings together organisations dedicated to
promoting alternatives to car dependence and automobile-based planning.
Interested municipalities are asked to send proposals for appropriate sites.
Most important is the availability of an area of sufficient size to allow the
advantages of carfree living (space for people, safety, lack of noise pollution,
etc.) to be experienced and to accommodate a population and an urban density
high enough to support attractive local public transport.
Interested? Send your application to
capp@worldcarfree.net before 10
August 2007.
