*Lessons From Zurich's Parking Revolution*
*The essence of Zurich's historic compromise of 1996 was that parking in
the core of the city would be capped at the 1990 level, and that any new
parking to be built would, on a one-to-one basis, replace the surface
parking that blighted most squares in the city at the time. Today, almost
all these squares are free of parking and have been converted to tranquil
or convivial places for people to enjoy. *
