PEDESTRIANIZE Meaning and Definition

1. Pedestrianize is a verb that refers to the act of converting a street or area into a pedestrian-only zone. This process involves restricting or banning the use of vehicles such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles, thereby transforming the space into a pedestrian-friendly environment.

   Pedestrianization has been found to have numerous benefits, including improved air quality, enhanced public health, increased economic activity, and greater social interaction.
