Illustrated comparison inspired by the place and case. Conceptual scenes, not a photographic before and after.
How the change works
- 01 / Public decision
Accessibility and moderate traffic
- 02 / Physical change
Less space taken up by cars
- 03 / Possible outcome
More viable active mobility
A hierarchy that gives priority to those who walk changes the use of public space and reduces the need to cross the center by car.

Other possible benefits
Space to meet and access for different needs.
