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

[Todd Alexander Litman]

This is an important issue so I am happy to see that GIZ has published this document. I have a few suggestions for improving it.

First, every technical document ever produced should have the publication date on the cover. Similarly, all references should have publication dates. This allows readers to quickly identify its historic context.

It makes me very happy to see that several of my publications were referenced in this document. However, they are all cited as "Victoria Transport Policy Institute", which is the publisher, not the author. Please cite authors when possible.

It would be useful if the documents were organized either by major category, such as "Parking Costs," "Management Strategies," and "Examples". 

Here are a few to add:
