Umm… this is a little unexpected from the Express.
A short travel piece on Helsinki that praises the public transport & pedestrian friendly spaces. It highlights how:
“Extensive car-free zones have transformed neighbourhoods into havens of clean air and tranquility.”

British towns must always be "ordinary and hard-working", and only that, and somehow people are then unable to figure out why our town centres tend to sit somewhere on a spectrum between "joyless" and outright "shit".
And as nobody tells the Grinches to go f-- themselves, there's no social cost to being one.
Merihaka and Itä-Pasila if you stretch it a bit (the latter possibly one of the largest vertically separated districts in the world), with car-free ”decks”.
