Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation, Land Use, and Environmental Planning examines the practices and policies linking transportation, land use and environmental planning needed to achieve a healthy environment, thriving economy, and more equitable and inclusive society. It assesses best practices for improving the performance of city and regional transportation systems, looking at such issues as public transit and non-motorized travel investments, mixed use and higher density urban development, radically transformed vehicles, and transportation systems. The book lays out the growing need for greater integration of transportation, land use, and environmental planning, looking closely at changing demographic needs, public health concerns, housing affordability, equity, and livability. In addition, strategies for achieving these desired outcomes are presented, including urban design and land use planning, regional and corridor-level transit plans, bike and pedestrian improvements, demand management strategies, and emerging technologies and services. The final part of the book examines implementation challenges, considering lessons from the US and around the globe at both local and regional levels. Introduces never-before-published research Offers best practices for transit, cycling, urban design and housing provision Assesses emerging developments, such as smart cities, new vehicle technologies, automated highways and transportation sharing Examines the institutional and political dimensions of sustainability planning at the urban and regional levels Utilizes case studies from around the world that show alternative ways forward
Download or read book A Guide to Parking written by International Parking Institute and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you own a car, use public transportation, go to work or school, use health care, shop or dine out, or are part of a metropolitan community, parking affects you, probably in more ways than you’ve thought about. Because parking has such a huge effect on what happens in cities and towns and how the greater transportation system functions, decision-makers are beginning to realize that it’s critical to employ parking expertise at the beginning of the planning process. Designing and implementing an effective, professionally managed parking strategy can mean the difference between frustrating and costly traffic congestion and efficient, time-saving traffic flow. A Guide to Parking provides information on the current state of parking, providing professionals and students with an overview on major areas of parking and the transportation and mobility industry, punctuated by brief program examples.
Download or read book A Carpark for Urban Growth written by Joshua L. Fisher and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the advent of the automobile, people started moving out to the suburbs to escape the dense and undesirable conditions of city life. The suburbs represented the American Dream; having your own house, white-picket-fenced yard, with a car and a couple of kids. In the United States, individualism and privacy are cherished qualities and the suburbs provide that. One setback to this dream was the nation would be heavily reliant on the personal automobile as a primary source of transportation. People were willing to commute between ten and thirty miles to and from work in order to have that American Dream; sprawl became the method for providing this type of lifestyle. Over the following decades as automotive technology was increasing and the symbolism of the car carried over into garage design; parking garages began to transform. As automobile design improved and vehicles became operable in all weather conditions; garages' concern to protect the automobile from the environment began to decrease, effecting parking garage design. Just as the car was an icon for freedom, people thought that parking garages should operate similarly. As the notion "to come and go" dominated, the concept of waiting for your vehicle via valet or elevator, clashed with that mindset. This led to self-park garages that have been dominant for the past half century. These garages have evolved into banal and sterile archetypes that only serve a function, and not how they interface with the context. The intent of this thesis is to propose a new perspective toward the design of parking garages within the urban context to a capacity that promotes urban growth. This proposal will make assessments on the drawbacks to urban parking garages as well as identify obstacles that impede urban development. The idea is by bringing these drawbacks to the foreground; solutions may be developed in a manner that not only improve qualities to both parking and urban progress, but also allows the parking garage archetype to transform from a space for storing your car into a place that becomes part of the urban experience. The downtown Market District of Roanoke, Virginia will be the backdrop to this thesis.

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 Politics of Parking written by Sarah Marusek and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is more to parking law than just parking penalties. Considering the ways in which law works in everyday life, and in familiar places of common experience where the presence of law is not obvious, this book explores the various notions of the right to park, which jurisprudentially is enacted between individuals in everyday parking. From parking areas to the courtroom, parking engenders disputes over equality, speech, legitimacy, and entitlement that reach beyond the stated scope of policy. Looking beyond the obvious, this book examines the contested site of the parking space as a place of socio-legal meaning where property claims and rights shape identities. Adopting a constitutive approach to the study of law, the book examines how regulation of parking policy is at odds with the force of localised politics, producing competing notions of legality and examples of legal semiotics within the terrain of legal geography.
