Beijing's escape from parking disaster
Description
Ten years ago Beijing's parking problems were among the most extreme I had ever seen.
How the situation improved is an encouraging story.
I learned about it from the article "How Beijing Is Rethinking Parking and Reclaiming Public Space" by Liu Shaokun and Bram van Ooijen in the Nov. 2022 edition of Sustainable Transportation Magazine from the Institute of Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP).
I reached out to Shaokun and Bram, as well as Shaokun's colleague Huang Yangwen, for this month's Reinventing Parking podcast.
[My apologies for the sound issue - an echo - at the 44 second mark, just after the intro music. Fortunately this lasts for only about 20 seconds or so.]
Reinventing Parking is the official podcast of the Parking Reform Network! Why not join?
