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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eParking 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 \u003ci\u003eParking and the City\u003c\/i\u003e show how reforming our misguided and wrongheaded parking policies can do a world of good.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRead more about parking benefit districts with a free download of Chapter 51 by copying the link below into your browser. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ehttps: \/\/www.routledge.com\/posts\/13972\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDonald Shoup, FAICP, is Distinguished Research Professor of Urban Planning in the Luskin School of Public Affairs at the University of California, Los Angeles, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 514\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 11, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52490688397605,"sku":"9781138497122","price":118.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/5104\/0293\/files\/U0lHNUZXaVlyS1hkUlpFMU5scm1tUT09.webp?v=1780081026","url":"https:\/\/world-safari-shops.myshopify.com\/products\/parking-and-the-city-paperback","provider":"World Safari Shops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
