    I mean, it’s cool and all. As a Swiss citizen I’ve been there. But it’s a small village town living from tourists (who arrive by train).

    Definitely not a model for the world, but definitely something that places with slower life and simple traffic could adopt.

      What if they need to transport a load of bricks, or sand, or scaffolding?

      I imagine there are more than a few loopholes in the ‘no cars’ policy.

        It’s no private car ownership. If you need a load of bricks, if delivery isn’t an option, a rental might be.

            Combine that with the fact that this town looks like it has a very slow life style, it wouldn’t be weird to have to wait a month or so for an order. Everyone probably knows each other and if there was an emergency, there would be someone nearby to help patch a roof, even if it was just throwing a tarp over it.
