Stockholm tries to promote sustainable mobility, which is why the city council has decided not only to declare September 19 a day without cars, but also to go one step further, it will prohibit them, as we can read thanks to the latest article in the Website diariomotor. As of 2016, only emergency services and minimum transport services will be able to circulate that day.
Contrary to what it may seem, the objective is not due to pollution but to the European Mobility Week: an annual event promoted by the European Commission to promote clean mobility.
The Swedish capital, which was named European green capital in 2010, is at the forefront of this type of action and has received many awards for it.
