pedestrianization
Banning cars downtown
Pedestrianization is the conversion of a street or area to pedestrian-only use, banning or restricting vehicle traffic.
Cities pursue pedestrianization to reduce pollution, improve safety, or create more pleasant public spaces: The pedestrianization of the downtown district boosted foot traffic to local shops.
Also spelled pedestrianisation in British English.
