The World Carfree Network's says the group is "dedicated to promoting alternatives to car dependence and automobile-based planning at the international level and working to reduce the human impact on the natural environment while improving the quality of life for all."
A Towards Carfree Cities conference in -- where else? -- slow-growth, auto-hating, density-loving Portland, Ore., in June 2008, to promote "practical alternatives to car dependence -- walking, cycling and public transport, and ultimately the transformation of cities, towns and villages into human-scaled environments rich in public space and community life."
The focus of the conference is on "strategy, collaboration and exchange, assisting the practical work of conference participants -- whether it be organizing carfree days, promoting urban cycling, or building the carfree cities of the future."
One question: Will it be OK to catch a taxi from the Portland airport to the hotel or do we have to ride a bike?
