Parking Problems

Parking Problems explores the challenges of urban mobility and how cities can transition away from car-centric designs. It argues that current parking policies, particularly minimum parking requirements, often lead to increased traffic congestion and higher housing costs. Demand-responsive pricing and multi-modal transportation systems offer potential solutions for creating more sustainable urban environments.

The book examines the historical context of parking policy and its impact on urban development, highlighting the economic and environmental costs associated with excessive parking. It also showcases cities that have successfully implemented innovative parking and transportation policies. By analyzing case studies, statistical data, and economic models, Parking Problems provides a pragmatic roadmap for creating more livable and sustainable urban environments.

The book begins by establishing the historical context of parking policy, then explores the economic and environmental costs associated with excessive parking, and culminates with a discussion of integrated urban planning strategies. This approach offers a comprehensive and evidence-based analysis of parking and transportation challenges, making it a valuable resource for urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of cities.
