　　Cities across the nation and the world are experimenting with the attrition of automobiles by  closing certain streets and areas to cars. Some people are pleased by this pedestrian friendly  change while others are concerned that it might pose a threat to the prosperity of the department  stores and shopping malls since it is troublesome to travel without a car. From my perspective,  cities are better off with car-free zones in downtown areas.

　　To begin with, traffic jams will be greatly alleviated to allow a more enjoyable and quality life  for residents. It has been so ubiquitous to depend on cars around the world that people are forced  to accept the less satisfactory experience of traffic congestion, delays and road angers, which is  preposterous given the fact that most people rely on cars even if the destination are accessible via public transportation and walking. Besides, combining mass transit system with bicycling or  walking, commuters and consumers will lead a more active lifestyle instead of sedentary one,  which is condusive to their immune system and overall cardiovascular performance.

　　Secondly, Stores and companies will benefit from this initiative by updating their quality and  service. It is just a matter of time to cultivate people’s habitsin adopting greener modes of  transportation. A more systematic and comprehensive transit network will definitely allure  consumers to employ it, since the punctuality and better value for money are more desirable  than attaching to the less preferable way of traveling. What’s more, the most valuable  competitive edge of any shop or store, is the combination of product quality, cost advantage and  hospitable service. As a matter of fact, those who take advantage of this car-free policy and  renovate their store using elements of open-air space and gardens tend to profit much more than  those who are not willing to embrace change and reluctant to innovate .

　　Admittedly, some might argue that this car-free practice would impair the supply chain of the  business, exerting an adverse impact on shops and stores. However, their concerns are  unfounded, since cities are equipped with a great variety of modes of transportation such as  metro, bus and bicycles. Certain hours could be arranged to be supply chain moments so that  most of the time the city is pedestrian friendly. Disabled people could acquire special grant for  using micro-mobile vehicles.

　　In conclusion, it is definitely a progress to set up car-free zones in city centers. With less traffic  blockage and more efficient transportation, .people will become healthier and more productive  while stores will be more innovative and artistic. Smart street planning and regulations will make  the world a much safer and delightful place.
