The project should improve urban spaces that are currently focused exclusively on cars. As their number increases, it causes an increase in carbon emissions, in particular, 93% of air pollution is caused by transport.

"The traffic lanes are much wider than the established standards. This leads to the fact that two cars can drive in the same lane in the same direction, to illegal parking or overtaking of public transport," the Urban Development Fund notes.
