A town in Germany with (almost) no cars:

Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders. Vauban’s streets are completely “car-free” — except the main thoroughfare, where the tram to downtown Freiburg runs

The article mentions play dates, and IKEA, and shops, but not commuting to work, which seems like a pretty big omission.
