Closing Central Madrid To Cars Resulted In 9.5% Boost To Retail Spending, Finds Bank Analysis City of Madrid significantly boosted the takings of its shops and restaurants last Christmas by banning cars from the CBD, finds an analysis by Spain's second largest bank.

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY.

There was also a 71% drop in air pollution.

Another great image of the space given over to cars in urban settings. This one is by Swedish artist Karl Jilg (www.jilg.com). It's important to give credit where it's due #CompleteStreets #CitiesForPeople

Photos shows a Pedestrian Walk sign that is lit for “walking”, but is upside down. In front of the sign are a few people walking by, hooded and wearing jackets due to rainfall.

What's disturbing about the #cityscape is all the concrete. Stones everywhere and so little greenery! Cars that clog the streets, make noise, and pollute the air. No meeting spaces, too few comfortable park benches, and too little regular public transport. #CitiesForPeople

Looking along the Flinders Street side of the redbrick and cream coloured rail station.

There's so little car traffic along Flinders Street outside the station it might as well be pedestrianised now. #melbourne #naarm #citiesforpeople

ALL cities should want to be like #Paris when it comes to #UrbanTransformation. It is possible to take space from parked cars to make place for people. It's not hard. It's a mindset. Start around your schools and most central neighborhoods. #UrbanLife #CitiesForPeople

Towards the end of his life, #WarrenMagnusson implored us to imagine radical democratic engagement “premised on the ‘open city’ rather than the closed nation”. Would that we'd heed that profoundly wise insight. #UrbanFutures #CitiesForPeople #RightToTheCity

Dear Cities,
Let’s make FIFA count…

#Multimodality isn't really rocket science. At least not if you aren't totally car-focussed or should we say car-obsessed? There are many, many examples how this can be done.

Fortunately, the #publicspace in old city centers usually lends itself perfectly to finding an unintended seat somewhere:
often a perfect place to watch other people strolling by.

Cities are what we imagine them to be. And what we're not giving away to for-profit entities.

When all the schools let out there are kids everywhere along the Avenue -seemingly every age group.

When the school day is over and the kids get to reconnect with their friends - sounds of joy fill the air.
