Barcelona’s Car-Free Transformation: Streets for People

What happens when you take cars out of the equation? You get vibrant, healthy, inclusive spaces — just like these streets in Barcelona’s car-free zones.

Once dominated by traffic, these areas have been reimagined into safe, tree-lined corridors full of life. Children can play, seniors can stroll, friends meet for coffee, and everyone breathes cleaner air.

With more space for walking, biking, sitting, and socializing, these human-centered streets are proof that cities thrive when people come first.
