How do we design a performance-based parking policy?
Ensuring a city’s success based on urban assets requires physical connections, proximities, urban density and a high diversity of activities. This usually comes with a heavy dose of space dedicated to parking vehicles, which, contrary to what is generally thought, can hinder local economic growth, social cohesion, and the overall quality of life.
