London's Oxford Street became traffic-free on October 26 between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street, banning all vehicles to create more pedestrian space. This is part of Mayor Sadiq Khan's plan to revitalize the shopping area with future additions like trees and public squares by 2027. Similarly, Delhi's Chandni Chowk pedestrianized a 1.3-km stretch in 2021 between the Red Fort and Fatehpuri Masjid, offering insights into urban pedestrianisation.
