"This research aims to examine the processes of reclamation of space from cars as part of the mobility \r\ntransition and to answer the research question ‘What are the barriers and accelerators for the \r\nprocesses of returning car space to public space in city centers?’. In addition to a literature review, a \r\ncomparative case study was conducted, involving interviews, analyzing the restoration of the canal \r\nring in Utrecht and the proposed reopening of the southern and western canals in Amersfoort. These \r\ncase studies provide insight into the processes and challenges of canal reopening projects. The \r\nUtrecht case illustrates the successful restoration of canals once drained to accommodate car-centric \r\ndevelopment. The process involved citizen initiatives, strategic lobbying, and a focus on the positive \r\neconomic and environmental impacts of canal reopening. In contrast, the Amersfoort case is still in \r\nthe early stages of implementation, with a citizens' initiative driving the vision of transforming the \r\ncity's ring road into a park and prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists. The research identifies the need \r\nfor a balance between mobility and livability as a key spatial factor, highlighting the need to reduce or \r\nredirect traffic flows to other modes of transport to ensure the success of car space reclamation \r\nprojects. Other important factors include citizen engagement, political support, specific urban \r\nplanning visions, and the consideration of environmental and climate benefits. The findings highlight \r\nplanning for climate resistance, public-private partnerships, and comprehensive visions for urban \r\ndevelopment that prioritize sustainable mobility and livable cities as important accelerators. A lack of \r\nthese factors would be a barrier."^^ . "2023" . . . . . . . "Rens"^^ . "Waagmeester"^^ . "Rens Waagmeester"^^ . . . . . . "Reclaiming Car Space in City Centers (Text)"^^ . . .
