Italy's Car Free Sundays
The next car-free Sundays in Italy will be on April 9th (earth Day in Italy) and May 7th, under the sponsorship of the Italian Ministry of Environment but with the scope of work and all inputs directly decided by each participating city. Can you imagine what will happen when more than 100 Italian communities and their forty million citizens begin to organize their powers of observation and brainpower as they look at the access systems of their cities with fresh eyes?
Missing thus far: Have you identified further media coverage of these projects? If so, we invite you to let us know so that we can share these results with all here. Without good independant coverage and views, it is of course impossible to have a full and fair appreciation of what is really going on.
 Where to go for more
In mid-March, The Commons will make a major effort here to provide links and coverage of the Italian events. In the meantime, we can offer you the following links and leads:
Independant press coverage
