Free Parking
The High Cost of Free Parking
Book •
Donald Shoup's 'The High Cost of Free Parking' argues that minimum parking requirements in urban areas distort land use, increase traffic congestion, and harm the environment.
Shoup advocates for market-based parking pricing, where drivers pay the true cost of parking, which can lead to more efficient use of parking spaces and reduced traffic.
The book demonstrates how parking policies can shape urban development and impact housing affordability, economic vitality, and environmental sustainability.
By advocating for parking reforms, Shoup aims to create more livable, sustainable, and economically vibrant cities.
The book challenges conventional wisdom about parking and offers practical solutions for addressing urban challenges.
