Getting rid of cars or getting rid of town centres?

If you get rid of cars from the town centres you just drive (no pun
intended) everyone out to "out of town" shopping places - the sort which
are a pain in the arse to get to by anything other than a car.

Only if you assume that everyone has a car or wants to use it to go
shopping.

I think that town centres you could walk around in safely, with decent
public transport to get you there, would be a very attractive prospect
for a lot of people.

For those who prefer visiting a giant car park so that they can get
six months worth of shopping every week, the restrictions of a busy
town centre would have driven them out of town anyway.
