Easy to read and often entertaining, the book showed that city parking policies subsidize cars, encourage sprawl, degrade urban design, prohibit walkability, damage the economy, raise housing costs, and penalize people who cannot afford or choose not to own a car. Using careful analysis and creative thinking, Shoup recommended three parking reforms: (1) remove off-street parking requirements, (2) charge the right prices for on-street parking, and (3) spend the meter revenue to improve public services on the metered streets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParking and the City reports on the progress that cities have made in adopting these three reforms. The successful outcomes provide convincing evidence that Shoupâs policy proposals are not theoretical and idealistic but instead are practical and realistic.

Certainly, \u003ci\u003eParking and the City\u003c\/i\u003e symbolizes something of a ‘coming-of-age’ for progressive parking research, revealing how far 21st century attitudes to and frameworks of urban parking have transformed and how they now sit within a new political landscape.\" \u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e–Planning Theory and Practice, 2019, Vol. 20, No. 3, Review by Rebecca Clements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In his landmark book, \u003cem\u003eThe High Cost of Free Parking\u003c\/em\u003e, Donald Shoup, FAICP, argued that reducing subsidies for parking would reduce air pollution and traffic congestion as well as improve land use...

While the book freely admits that parking is \u003cbr\u003ein no way one of the most ‘glamourous’ or interesting issues for consideration by planners and urban designers, the volume nevertheless approaches the subject in a highly lucid and engaging way. The arguments presented in the first and second sections do good work at turning the established assumptions of planning instruments and city economics related to parking on their head, highlighting the hidden inequalities within. The book also delivers well in its suggestions for how interested readers might advocate for ‘something better’ in parking in their own towns and cities.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e-Michael Kordas, University of Glasgow\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Ultimately, Parking and the City ably meets its objectives to provide, in a single volume, a compendium of the latest insights on parking management, curated by the world's lead­ing parking scholar.
