Abstract
Transport accounts for a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions and cars occupy much space in cities in a very inefficient way. Larger cities start to ban cars from their highly urbanized areas, but it is unclear whether this is also applicable to an outer urban area, like the considered case of Vossenpels-Noord in Nijmegen, because many of these developments have other underlying arguments than the development of Vossenpels-Noord, which is only because of sustainability. Three similar cases, opinions of experts and the willingness of inhabitants of surrounding neighborhoods have been investigated in interviews and the formulated conditions have been concretized and applied to the case of Vossenpels-Noord in a workshop. In the results, it is emphasized that this development concerns large risks and this concept of low car ownership should first be implemented in more urbanized areas. If the municipality is going to implement the concept in Vossenpels-Noord, the motivation of future inhabitants plays a large role, which is necessary to have other instruments successfully implemented. Only a combination of a number of instruments can lead to lower car ownership if some intention is present. Based on the results, two recommended future scenarios are considered.
