S8 Ep30: Do car bans hurt politicians?
Update: 2025-06-20
Description
Pedestrianised areas, car-free streets, or low traffic neighbourhoods are increasingly visible in major cities.

Elisabet Viladecans-Marsal of the Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona Institute of Economics and CEPR spoke to Tim Phillips about whether Barcelona’s car-free “Superblocks” were vote-winners or vote-losers for the city’s mayor.
