That's the size of a studio apartment in New York or enough room to hold 10 bicycles. Space devoted to parking in growing urban and suburban areas is highly contested--not only from other uses from housing to parklets, but between drivers who feel entitled to easy access. Without parking management, parking is a free-for-all--a competitive sport--with arbitrary winners and losers. Historically drivers have been the overall winners in having free or low-cost parking, while an oversupply of parking has created a hostile environment for pedestrians. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the last 50 years, parking management has grown from a minor aspect of local policy and regulation to a central position in the provision of transportation access. The higher densities, tight land supplies, mixed land uses, environmental and social concerns, and alternative transportation modes of Smart Growth demand a different approach--actively managed parking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book offers a set of tools and a method for strategic parking management so that communities can better use parking resources and avoid overbuilding parking. It explores new opportunities for making the most from every parking space in a sharing economy and taking advantage of new digital parking tools to increase user interaction and satisfaction. Examples are provided of successful approaches for parking management--from Pasadena to London. At its essence, the book provides a path forward for strategic parking management in a new era of tighter parking supplies.","brand":"Island Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890497077399,"sku":"9781610914611","price":4292.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781610914611.webp?v=1781180259","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/parking-management-for-smart-growth-9781610914611","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
