Car reduced district Vauban

The most liveable urban district in Germany? Children playing in the street, large green areas, no traffic noise – what sounds like a dream for most city dwellers is reality in Freiburg. The car-reduced traffic concept works by combining excellent public transport services, car sharing and extensive cycling and walking paths. The result: most people no longer need a private car – in Vauban there are less than 200 cars per 1,000 inhabitants while the national average is > 500.
