Abstract

This report examines European parking management over the last half century, through the prism of ten case studies. Parking management has been an effective policy tool to improve the quality of city centers and surrounding areas, saving time and money for shoppers, residents, commuters, and business owners alike. Parking can be managed through economic and regulatory mechanisms, the implementation of certain physical designs, as well as quality of service contracting. This report examines all four of these strategies.
