08.01.2022 WECA AGM 2020 Thanks to our members for attending our Annual General Meeting, reflecting on the year that was and electing the Management Committee.

08.01.2022 Barcelona shows that choosing people over cars has health and economic benefits. This latest plan is a watered-down version of a superblock, Professor Mark Nieuwenhuijsen says, since it doesn’t limit traffic in the whole area it covers. That’s likely because it was more politically feasible. There’s often a lot of resistance trying to reduce car use in Barcelona, he says. Retail store owners often believe that pedestrianizing streets will reduce sales, though the opposite is actually true. But even the smaller changes can help improve the area." Is 4101 ready to be this bold?
