Parking and City
Description: (Same as Urban Planning CM151.) Lecture, three hours. Requisite: course 40 or Economics 1 or 11. Parking is misunderstood link between transportation and land use. Transportation engineers typically assume that free parking simply is there at end of most trips, while urban planners treat parking as transportation issue that engineers must study. No profession is intellectually responsible for parking, and everyone seems to assume that someone else is doing hard thinking. Mistakes in planning for parking help to explain why planning for transportation and land use has in many ways gone slowly, subtly, incrementally wrong. Study of theory and practice of planning for parking and examination of how planning for parking in U.S. has become planning for free parking. Exploration of new ways to improve planning for parking, transportation, and land use. Letter grading.

Spring 2021 - I've rarely had poor experiences with Luskin professors and Don Shoup is no different. He literally wrote the textbook on parking reforms and is hence extremely knowledgeable on subject material. I found the workload heavy (weekly reading notes, two 2000-word memos and one final) and wished there was more guidance on what to expect for the final. However, I appreciated everything else: the readings came from a wide variety of sources, TA Nolan Gray was great, Prof Shoup was very responsive to emails and during office hours, and he invited many policymakers / consultants / academics studying different niches within parking policy to deliver guest lectures. Prof Shoup is definitely a one in a generation professor that consistently goes beyond the bare minimum to deliver quality lectures in the hope of educating the next gen of policymakers!
