The Impact of Car-Free Streets on Local Air Quality and Residential Electricity Consumption: Evidence from Seoul, Korea Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Korea, Republic of (South Korea) This study analyzes the impact of car-free street policies on local PM10 concentrations and residential electricity consumption in Seoul, Korea. Using a regression discontinuity in time (RDiT) design and a spatial difference-in differences (DiD), we examine daily PM10 monitoring station records and monthly electricity consumption data from 2011 to 2019. The results show that the introduction of car-free streets results in reduction 18.1% in PM10 concentrations within a two-year period. Furthermore, improvement in local air quality was associated with a 2.9% decrease in residential electricity consumption in the vicinity area. Robustness tests confirm the main results, underscoring that car-free streets not only improve local air quality, but also reduce energy consumption in residential areas. | |
