1. PUTTING CARS IN THEIR PLACE:
Walking, Biking and Parking
Successful downtowns depend on reducing the
influence of the automobile and creating
environments that are attractive to pedestrians
and bicycles. But cars aren’t going away. This
session will explore the concept and design
implications of “putting cars in their place” with
effective parking strategies and expanded
pedestrian and bicycle environments.
