    Parking:Searching for the Good Life in City

    11-01-2017

    From the 1920s, the rapid development of motor vehicles, city streets filled with chaotic cars everywhere. In order to solve the traffic problem, city began to build outside the parking lot, but with the contrary, more and more cars in the city road, the city occupied by the car.Traffic is more and more far from the way people expect. People do not want more parking, but suitable walking.

    After the 1960s, the city government began to change the old ideas,promoting multi-functional mixed land development, limiting the supply of vehicle parking spaces; changing the minimum standard of parking, near the public transport facilities setting maximum parking; combining parking space with commercial space,and so on.

    On the road of parking policy reform, there are a lot of tough challenges, but if we make it we can rediscover the city's good life.
