Towards Car-Free Cities III will bring together 75 people
from across Europe and beyond who are promoting
alternatives to car dependence and car culture. We will
focus on strategy, collaboration and exchange,
assisting the practical work of conference participants - whether it be organising car-free days or building the car-free cities of the future.

The programme will balance presentations with round-table discussions and other
participatory activities. Prague's monthly Critical Mass bike ride will be held on Thursday,March 20. Earlier in the week, a walking tour of Prague's old town will be provided. The conference will also be a place to assess and contribute to Car Busters' ongoing projects. Most of the programme will be decided by participants, via the carfree_conf3 listserve, which has been active since October 21, 2002. Applicants are encouraged to join the listserve (subscribe with an e-mail to  carfree_conf3-subscribe@yahoogroups.com) and take part in the discussions anddecision-making.

Confirmed presenters include Joel Crawford (author of 'Carfree Cities', editor of Carfree.com), John Whitelegg (editor of World Transport Policy & Practice), and Lars Gemzoe (co-author of 'New City Spaces' and 'Public Spaces - Public Life'). The organisers are currently seeking recommendations for female presenters. See the draft
conference programme.
