Parking Infrastructure: A Constraint On Or Opportunity For Urban Redevelopment?, Mikhail Chester

Many cities have adopted minimum parking requirements, but we have relatively poor information about how parking infrastructure has grown.
In this research, using building and roadway growth models, we estimate how parking has grown in Los Angeles County from 1900 to 2010, and how parking infrastructure evolves, affects urban form, and relates to changes in automobile travel.
We find that since 1975, the ratio of residential offstreet parking spaces to automobiles in Los Angeles County is close to 1.0 and the greatest density of parking spaces is in the urban core. Most new growth in parking occurs outside of the …

Shared space is a traffic calming technique as well as urban design concept. Also known as ‘Naked Streets’, this technique strives to fully integrate the roadway into the urban fabric by removing elements such as lane markings, curbs, and traffic signs. By removing these elements and creating a more plaza-like space, these spaces become ambiguous and no user group has priority. The technique is relatively new, and the majority of existing research concerns pedestrians only.
This study focused on intersections in England with the goal of understanding how bicycle riders perceive and travel through shared space intersections.
Using video observations, …
