Not owning a car is a great way to stay fit, save money, and avoid loads of hassle. This is a blog with thoughts, photos, ideas and links about carfree life: walking, active travel, public transport, places and spaces - things that matter to everyone, but even more when you don’t own a car. Photos are by me unless credited. Forthcoming: book on carfree life. Meantime, get in touch via email at carfreelifeoutsidethebox@gmail.com or Twitter @carfreebrighton

Why Places Matter: myth-buster from Living Streets
This new pamphlet tackles seven myths about public spaces, and concludes that “Quality places and green spaces should not be a luxury – they are really crucial to the social, economic and environmental success of our neighbourhoods. The good news is that, despite the economic challenges there are opportunities for communities and councils to make their places better.” Essential reading for everybody concerned with the vitality of the urban realm.
