The Mythical Parking Shortage: Why Provide Excess Parking?
Parking requirements are a principal difference between the New Urbanism and the old, and a stronger determinant of urban form than density or FAR. How can we accommodate the automobile while allowing for good urban form? From innovative on-street parking management solutions to the removal of off-street requirements, this session explored tested approaches that provide developers and city officials with new confidence in improving pedestrian-oriented environments.
