      Expanding pedestrian zones isn’t just urban planning, it’s a statement about prioritizing people over traffic, and Plovdiv’s move shows how cities can reclaim space for community, not just convenience.

      “pedestrian zone” is such a weird concept.

      Here you get a place where you can do your pedestrian things. Please don’t bother the cars in other parts of the city with your flesh legs, thank you! /s

      It’s a great city already and this improves it even more.

      Unrelated, but pic immediately made me think of Assassins Creed, just missing a pile of hay in the middle and maybe some wires across the street.

      After over a decade of debates and delays, Plovdiv finally moves to pedestrianise part of “Ivan Vazov” boulevard west of the central square, bringing the pedestrian city core closer to the main train station. Plovdiv’s “Glavnata” already claimed to be Europe’s longest pedestrian street after previous extensions placed it almost a kilometre ahead of Copenhagen’s famous Strøget.
