[sustran] Re: Reading list on Parking Management in Developing Cities - Released

[Paul Barter]

This looks like a very useful reading list. 

However, I am surprised that it fails to mention my recent publication "Parking Policy in Asian Cities" which can be obtained via  http://www.reinventingparking.org/2010/11/parking-policy-in-asian-cities-report.html?utm_source=BP_recent

Subject: [sustran] Reading list on Parking Management in Developing Cities - Released

A parked car takes up around 8 square meters when parked and often the 
same again in manoeuvring space – a huge amount in dense urban areas 
where land is expensive. Often, cars get more space to park than humans 
have to live in!

The above mentioned reason justifies the need for having a parking 
management system. More focus needs to be devoted towards better public 
transport and non-motorised transportation. Parking needs to be used as 
a demand management tool.

The current document is one of the several efforts of GIZ-Sustainable 
Urban Transport Project to bring to the policymakers an easy to access 
list of available material on parking management. The document aims to 
list out some influential and informative resources that highlight the 
importance of parking management in cities and shows opportunities to 
improve the existing situation.
