I suppose a more realistic approach would be to establish target levels for significant carbon reductions, then let local cities decide on their own how they would meet such goals. Some cities, like Hamburg, might select the carfree approach, while others would try something else.
The E.U. seems to be catching the American disease of putting corporate interests first and letting public health and the environment suffer:

Let's hope the plans to create car-free centers don't suffer a similar fate.
