36: Micromobility and Car Parking

In this episode, Horace and Oliver discuss Donald Shoup’s work, The High Cost of Free Parking, and why micromobility offers such a compelling counter to the dominant mindset that has existed around parking for the last 70 years.Specifically, we cover:- The financial and spatial impact of parking minimums in the US- The Catch-22 of parking legislation - parking creates sprawled landscapes that increases the need for them to move around.- The importance of pricing parking appropriately- The odd behaviour that our misplacing of car parks has created in Japan and the US- The logical use case for autonomy in RV’s if we can’t better price/allocate roadspace- Why micromobility offers such a fundamental rethink of space allocation and parking requirements This is a public episode.
