INTRODUCTION
Academic and professional skills are the skills that has been developed by a student during their
academic courses to get better employment opportunities in future (Neiles, and Bowers, 2020).
These skills are enhanced by Bhai and individual with the help of various tasks that has been
provided by the colleges. In the present report and assessment has been provided to develop
critical thinking skills as well as business report writing skills by providing a report on car free
City centers. The term "Car-free city" refers to a populated area where residents rely on public
transportation, cycling, or walking to get around the city. This sort of city tries to make driving a
car illegal in order to establish automobile-free zones in urban areas. It is important for an
individual to improve his or her personal and work abilities in order to create an efficient report.
To prepare a report that included advantages and other vital facts linked to the establishment of a
car-free city center, an individual needed to have strong personal and work abilities. Creating a
vehicle-free city will assist a country in improving air quality and reducing the amount of traffic
mishaps in city areas owing to heavy traffic, including pedestrians injured by automobiles.
Although the construction of a car-free city center is advantageous to society, it necessitates the
engagement of a wide range of stakeholders in transportation planning. The authority to make
transportation-related decisions is vested in societies, and it can be impacted by technological
examination. Transport planners, lawmakers, driving clubs, and others are among the primary
parties involved in the establishment of a car-free city. As it has been discovered, making a city
center car-free would be extremely advantageous to a country and will have a wide range of
effects on many businesses. The impact of a car-free city on the tourist, hospitality, and event
sectors is discussed in this research (Byrnes, 2021). It also includes information about the
environmental and social impacts of these car-free city centers, as well as various ideas for
establishing a successful car-free city Centre.
MAIN BODY
The economic impact.
All the business organization that has been established in our country has their impact on
economy of a country (López-Carril, Anagnostopoulos, and Parganas, 2020). It has been
identified with the survey that the major impact that has been identified on the economy of a

country is of tourism industry. If a city is able to attract more and more tourism then it will help
the economy to grow and became developed. In order to enhance economy of a country it is
critical for a country to provide a clean, green, and sanitary environment for tourists in order to
encourage more tourism to the nation as tourism contributes a lot to an economy. The
development of a car-free city Centre will assist the country in becoming green and clean, as
well as pollution-free, which will aid the country in attracting more visitors to the city Centre. It
has been shown that the majority of pollution occurs in a country's city Centre, necessitating the
reduction of traffic (Anjum, 2020). The establishment of a car-free city will have a positive
influence on both sides as a tourism attraction. The beneficial impact on the town as a tourist
attraction is that a car-free city center will aid tourism in creating a pollution-free atmosphere for
tourists, as well as helping the hospitality and event sectors attract more people to the country.
However, it will have a detrimental influence on the tourist, hospitality, and event sectors, since
a car-free city will restrict or eliminate the use of motorized vehicles in the city center, affecting
the services given to visitors in all industries, including tourism, hospitality, and events. Taking
tourism as an example, if a car-free city center is built, it will also affect the personal motors that
tourist has hired for their protection and security, lowering their happiness and experiences in the
city.
The establishment of a car-free city will also assist in the implementation of successful
improvements in the types of activities that may be held in the city (Atta-Obeng, and Dadzie, S.,
2020). Previously, events could not be conducted in the city due to heavy traffic, but now that
cities are car-free, events can be held in the heart of the city, allowing everyone, even tourists, to
attend. Car-free cities not only serve to boost event tourism, but they also open doors for new
hospitality businesses. As more tourists visit the nation, businesses in the hospitality industry
will have the potential to expand their market share and attract and retain business activities in
the hotel industry with improved opportunities. In this manner the country will be able to support
their economy with the help of car-free cities. Apart from this car-free City also helps an
economy to provide more employment to the transportation sector in which increase in
transportation became essential after implementation of car free City (Yu, 2021). Employment
opportunities in an economy will help the country to grow their economy and will have a
positive impact on the economy. In this manner ka free City not only helps to improve tourism
industry to have positive impact on the economic activities but also provide various other factors

and which they will be able to grow the market employment and has a positive impact on
economy of a country.
The consequences for the environment
Cars as well as other automobiles that are driven in cities by different people emit a large
amounts of greenhouse gases, which are extremely destructive to the environment. Car Free
Town Centers is a fantastic program that aids countries in reducing pollution in their cities and
having a good influence on the environment. The majority of traffic was discovered in
metropolitan regions, where all amenities are readily available to individuals in adjacent
locations. The idea to establish car-free city centers will assist stakeholders in reducing the
country's carbon imprint in the air while also enhancing the country's environmental
sustainability. Aids in the reduction of pollution in urban areas, that has a strong influence on the
nation's environment since pollution causes global climate change, which is the primary driver of
climate change. As car-free city centers, they assist to reduce the number of personal
automobiles and vehicles on the road, lowering greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide
and black carbon, which are the primary main pollutants in a country (Khamkhong, 2021). In
many nations, increasing air pollution is seen as the largest human health danger, affecting the
health and well-being of many people. People believe public transportation to be safe and
reliable, and it may assist an individual in the establishment of car-free communities in many
nations. It lowers the usage of private transportation such as taxis, automobiles, and other
automobiles in cities, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions. This decrease in greenhouse
gas emissions will lower environmental carbon output, which will have a direct influence on
global warming. Adapting to these car-free city centers is a global problem since it has some
negative consequences, but it also has various environmental benefits and has a good influence
on environmental aspects.
Social Consequences
The term "social impacts" refers to the effects that have been recognized on community
and the general public reaction to the changes that have happened in society (Ladd, and Reid,
2020). The implementation of car-free city centers will have an influence on the public's
lifestyle, with both positive and bad consequences. In comparison to the public's reaction, the
public will initially oppose with the adoption of this car-free city center since it would

compromise their movement from one location to another. That is why, Car Free Town Zones
are admired since they assist society by decreasing traffic congestion and pollution on the
highways. Polluted air in the industry is only damaging to those who live in the surrounding
society because it causes the spread of dangerous diseases. This is one of the advantages of
living without a car (Cruz Baylón, 2021). The social situation or community in which people
would be able to breathe pure air rather than dirty air is the focus of the city. The prohibition of
automobiles in urban areas may cause inconvenience to the general people, as they will be forced
to explore the market as pedestrians, and their own automobiles will not be permitted. However,
it will have a good influence on society because it would cut overall accidents and fatalities in
the market. According to a poll, private automobiles are responsible for a significant number of
accidents, and in order to decrease the signs of accidents, car-free zones should be implemented.
The social advantage of city centers will be realized. As this strategy is adopted in city areas, it
will result in certain changes in the demographics regions of city centers, as it will be necessary
for the society to execute all of the necessities in the city centers. The prohibition of private
automobiles will also lower the market's crime rate, as the use of private vehicles typically
reduces the number of burglars as well as other crooks. Not only positive this invention of car
free City canters will also put a negative impact on the society as people will find it difficult to
go to the market with public conveyance. With the increase covid-19 all over the world it is very
dangerous to make use of public conveyance by everyone as this disease is spread by social
communication. Apart from the positive impacts that are so many of this car free City this
scheme can Detroit health of people who will visit with the help of public transport and can
result in negative social impact (Cotronei-Baird, 2020).
CONCLUSION
The above debate leads to the conclusion that car-free city centers are highly
advantageous to a society since they will increase people's reliance on public transportation,
cycling, and walking, which is excellent for their health and will provide environmental
advantages to the community and nation. Many nations have found it beneficial to adopt in their
own countries in order to see the influence of car-free city centers on various businesses in the
economy. The tourist, hospitality, and event sectors, which always bring advantages to nations
that are conscious of their environment and sustainability, are the biggest impact that has been

evaluated from these car-free city centers. This one has a favorable influence on the environment
since it decreases greenhouse gas emissions, which are the primary source of carbon imprint in
the atmosphere. The country's environmental aims and objectives are aided by these car-free city
cores. Allowing car-free city centers has a social impact in that it helps a country lower its crime
rate and has an influence on the appropriate sort of crime by reducing it. Apart from that, this
strategy would provide the people of the community with a variety of benefits, including
pollution-free air in city centers.
