webinar recap: PARKING REFORM FOR 21ST CENTURY COMMUNITIES

Recording now available >>

Smart growth hinges on smart parking policy. As the crucial link between transportation and land use, parking must respond to community context, address local goals like housing affordability or multi-modal transportation, and be managed accordingly. But the American landscape suggests our attitude toward parking is inherently unsustainable. At best, we’re dedicating one space for every car in places like New York City where most households do not own a car, but nationally there are eight spaces for every car and in some cities it’s much worse.

This webinar features planning and zoning professionals who helped catalyze parking reforms in Hartford, CT and Atlanta, GA. They describe new parking policies in these communities and offer tips for how other cities and towns can reform their own regulations.
