Zermatt, Switzerland. Car free city.

A small car-less resort town that makes its money in no small part by providing tourists with a pleasant experience isn't really a model for cities. (And it's a pretty mobbed place at the popular times of year.) If you just want to move someplace quiet with Internet access there are lots of options.
From the photos and Wikipedia description, I'm in love. I want to move there.
There are a few villages in the Swiss alps with no cars or very limited use of cars. In one I visited, a hotel owner picked up guests and their luggage from the gondola using something like a golf cart. It worked well - low speed, smaller, less dangerous, quieter, etc.
