Legendary UCLA planning professor Donald Shoup explains why free parking is never truly free.
In this interview, Donald Shoup explains all that’s rotten about parking in the United States. Poorly designed parking policies and excessive parking infrastructure worsen congestion, endanger pedestrians, exacerbate climate change, and increase housing costs. We all think we want free parking, notes Shoup, but that’s because we’re not accounting for the real costs.
Keywords: parking, urban planning, free parking, parking system, infrastructure, policies, affordability, sustainability, parking systems, housing crisis, climate change, transportation.
