There are an estimated 600,000,000 passenger cars in the world, and that number is increasing every day. So too is Earth’s supply of parking spaces. In some cities, parking lots cover more than one-third of the metropolitan footprint. In ReThinking a Lot, Eran Ben-Joseph shares a different vision for parking’s future. The book details the centrality of parking lots in our lives, questions their most common forms and suggests ways of improving them.
