Reclaim the Streets

Reclaim the Streets is a movement that seeks to take back public spaces from cars and turn them into places for people to enjoy. It usually involves people organizing demonstrations or celebrations in streets and car-free places such as parks or beaches. People also use creative activities such as dancing, painting, and playing music to fill the spaces with life and make them more inviting. The goal of Reclaim the Streets is to show how cities can be better places if we don’t just focus on cars and create more spaces for people.
