Open Streets Movement

The Open Streets Movement is a global initiative aimed at temporarily closing streets to vehicular traffic, opening them up for walking, cycling, and community activities. It promotes vibrant, safe, and healthy urban environments by encouraging active transportation and social interaction. Often organized as public events, these street closures help reduce pollution, improve safety, and foster community engagement. The movement supports city planning focused on human-centered design, making urban areas more livable and accessible for people of all ages and abilities.
