Donald Shoup brilliantly overcame the challenge of writing about
parking without being boring in his iconoclastic 800-page book The
High Cost of Free Parking. Easy to read and often entertaining, the
book showed that city parking policies subsidize cars, encourage
sprawl, degrade urban design, prohibit walkability, damage the
economy, raise housing costs, and penalize people who cannot afford
or choose not to own a car. Using careful analysis and creative
thinking, Shoup recommended three parking reforms: (1) remove
off-street parking requirements, (2) charge the right prices for
on-street parking, and (3) spend the meter revenue to improve
public services on the metered streets. Parking and the City
reports on the progress that cities have made in adopting these
three reforms. The successful outcomes provide convincing evidence
that Shoup's policy proposals are not theoretical and idealistic
but instead are practical and realistic. The good news about our
decades of bad planning for parking is that the damage we have done
will be far cheaper to repair than to ignore. The 51 chapters by 46
authors in Parking and the City show how reforming our misguided
and wrongheaded parking policies can do a world of good. Read more
