A recent study by the International Institute of Climate Change (IICC) has reignited the debate about the effectiveness of car-free zones in urban areas. The study, which compared traffic data and air quality measurements from ten major cities, found a significant reduction in both congestion and pollution levels in those cities with established car-free zones. However, critics of the study point out that the chosen cities all have well-developed public transportation systems, making it easier for residents to get around without cars. They argue that the success of car-free zones may not be transferable to cities with less robust public transport options.
