چکیده

This study examines the challenges and outcomes associated with a pedestrianization project implemented in the polluted city center of Zanjan, Iran, where I served as the head of the research-design team. The project aimed to reduce air pollution from heavy vehicular traffic and its associated health risks, particularly in relation to cancer prevention. Throughout the research and design process, we faced significant opposition from local businesses and shop owners, highlighting a disconnect between stakeholder interests and public health objectives. Despite this resistance, the project ultimately succeeded in creating a vibrant urban public space that received widespread acclaim from the community in a densely populated area. These contrasting perspectives underscore a critical lack of awareness regarding the harmful effects of traffic-related pollution on human safety and its potential role in cancer development. This lack of understanding contributes to entrenched car-dependent behaviors and resistance to the expansion of pedestrian-friendly urban environments. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of a decade-long research process, investigating pathways to facilitate public awareness toward greater acceptance and support for pedestrianization initiatives.
