Most Asian cities are facing an acute parking crisis as a result of rapid urbanization and motorization, and high urban densities. Parking policy is an important component of a holistic approach to sustainable urban transport across the region. The report is a step in building a knowledge base to address the knowledge gap on parking and the lack of adequate guidance for parking policy in Asia.
'By adopting this study's recommendation to charge the lowest price for on-street parking that will leave one or two vacant spaces on every block, high-density Asian cities can use the resulting revenue to pay for local public services to benefit poor people.'
