Book excerpt: For much of the past century, we have viewed the issue of parking from the driver’s seat. It follows that key narratives about parking reaffirm the immediate needs of the driver. A consequence of this approach is a failure to understand the significant damage that parking causes to the destination. That damage is amplified by ‘cheap, easy’ parking at the expense of place and access outcomes. Viewing parking from an urban planning and design perspective highlights different issues and opportunities. Five perspectives are offered: Place – If we gave drivers all the parking they wanted, the destination would not be worth visiting. Politics – Parking is intensely territorial, emotional, and prone to populism, and this is a barrier to strategic and sustainable parking reform. Policy – Parking tends to be focused on the ‘me, here and now’ needs of the driver at the expense of bigger picture and longer term policy objectives. Price – Subsidized parking exists behind opaque pricing mechanisms. In contrast, a transparent accounting of costs is a vehicle for strategic parking reform. Professional practice – Parking is a significant land-use issue, located at the juncture of transport and urban planning and design. Improving urban parking outcomes requires an integrated and collaborative planning process. An alternative view of parking is timely as new technologies and economies fundamentally change everything we understand about parking. A potential paradigm shift is in the making. Rethinking Parking provides a pathway to a better parking/place balance and access to destinations worth visiting. It is valuable reading for students and professionals engaged in transport, planning, urban access, and design.
Download or read book Parking Cars in America 1910 1945 written by Kerry Segrave and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its decentralized urban areas, pollution, and mostly inadequate public transit systems, America pays a heavy price for its dependency on cars. This volume explores one of the more pressing aspects of the problem--storage--from 1910 to the end of World War II, contrasting the reality and perception of car parking as found in the pages of the popular newspapers and magazines. From early bans on street parking to street widening efforts to the introduction of parking lots, garages, and parking meters, the book chronicles attempts to accommodate the ever-increasing number of cars. By failing to effect any meaningful regulations along the way, this work shows, Americans slowly ceded authority and dominance to the automobile, to the detriment of present-day society.

Download or read book Parking and the City written by Donald Shoup and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-11 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The FEDER Guide to Where to Park Your Car in Manhattan and where Not to Park It written by Erik Feder and published by Rhythmo Productions. This book was released on 2005 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Feder Guide to Where to Park Your Car in Manhattan (and Where Not to Park It!!)" has been designed to make it easier for readers to park their vehicles in Manhattan (NY). This first edition covers Downtown Manhattan - 30th Street down to Battery Park. A Midtown/Uptown edition will follow in the next six months.The book has 3 main parts to it: a helpful hints section, listings of the street parking regulations and listings of parking garages/lots. The book will also have maps of the sections of Manhattan that are covered.The helpful hints section is pretty much what it sounds like ? what to do if you get a ticket, if you?re towed, what to watch out for, etc. The listings of the street parking regulations does just that - lists the complete street parking regulations for every street in the book. When a particular street is generally a great place to park, a smiley face has been placed next to the listing to indicate to readers that they are usually safe to park there. If a particular street is a terrible place to park, a frowney face has been placed there to alert the readers to avoid that street.The parking garage section will list the locations, hours, contact info, rates, etc., for participating garages in Manhattan. All the big firms who run parking facilities in Manhattan have agreed to participate and some of the smaller firms are also participating. We've done our research on this topic. For instance, in the year in 2000, an average of 22,000 parking tickets a day were written in NYC, of which Manhattan was by far the largest contributor. As noted on the back cover of the book: if by using our guide a reader saves themselves from getting just one parking ticket, our book will pay for itself up to 7 times over. It pays for itself 14 times over if they save themselves from being towed. We have a marketing plan in place with a focus on prepublication promotion, extensive ARC distribution for obtaining reviews, online promotion, publicity to include TV and radio satellite interviews, scheduling speaking engagements and targeting places that car enthusiasts shop including auto parts stores, AAA, rental car outlets as well as trucking and moving companies.

Download or read book High Cost of Free Parking written by Donald Shoup and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Off-street parking requirements are devastating American cities. So says the author in this no-holds-barred treatise on the way parking should be. Free parking, the author argues, has contributed to auto dependence, rapid urban sprawl, extravagant energy use, and a host of other problems. Planners mandate free parking to alleviate congestion, but end up distorting transportation choices, debasing urban design, damaging the economy, and degrading the environment. Ubiquitous free parking helps explain why our cities sprawl on a scale fit more for cars than for people, and why American motor vehicles now consume one-eighth of the world's total oil production. But it doesn't have to be this way. The author proposes new ways for cities to regulate parking, namely, charge fair market prices for curb parking, use the resulting revenue to pay for services in the neighborhoods that generate it, and remove zoning requirements for off-street parking.
