São Paulo took one of the streets most emblematic of car culture and commercial growth: Paulista Avenue and removed cars once a week. Four years later, this program has maintained its massive popularity and residents are happy weekly participants, according to recent survey. This post was translated and edited from another version published on ArchDaily Brazil. You can read the original in Portuguese here.
