The Carfree District in Quebec City
Channel: CarfreeCities
Date: 2013-02-01

North American has exactly one decent example of a carfree district: Petit Champlain in Quebec City's Lower Town. This is the oldest urban area on the continent and provides an example of just how pleasant it is to spend time in places without cars. It's also a model for a more sustainable world. Spend five minutes finding out what it is, how it works, and why it's a model for the future.

The Piscataquis Village project in central Maine is based largely on the Quebec City model. Learn more at piscataquisvillage.org.
