【2022.6.1】六分钟英语 232. PEDESTRIANS 关于行人 -

In this programme, we look at the cities trying to keep cars out of their city centres.

Norwich was the first UK city to ban cars from parts of the city centre. Planners wanted to protect pedestrians from cars and to reduce pollution in its old and narrow streets. – that was 50 years ago. There’s a fresh interest in keeping cars out of cities now for the same reasons. Rob and Neil talk about pedestrianising streets and teach you new English vocabulary.
