PARKING MIGHT BE KILLING YOUR TOWN

Henry Grabar | Journalist, Author, and Researcher

Parking is essential, but excess parking can swallow a town. This session explores how the pursuit of the perfect parking space has forced us to sacrifice affordable housing, attractive architecture, walkable neighborhoods, and lively town centers in favor of congestion, sprawl, and waste. Henry, the author of the book Paved Paradise, will discuss how communities worldwide are shifting toward smarter parking policies that support economic vitality, sustainability, and a more pedestrian-friendly walking experience. Join us to learn how solving the parking problem can make your community more livable, accessible, and prosperous.
