"Lots of Parking examines a neglected aspect of this rise of the automobile : the impact on America not of cars in motion but of cars at rest. While most studies have tended to focus on highway construction and engineering improvements to accommodate increasing flow and the desire for speed, John A. Jakle and Keith A. Sculle examine a fundamental feature of the urban, and suburban, scene - the parking lot. Their exploration traces the history of parking from the curbside to the rise of public and commercial parking lots and garages and the concomitant demolition of the old pedestrian-oriented urban infrastructure. In an accessible style enhanced by a range of illustrations, Jakle and Sculle discuss the role of parking in downtown revitalization efforts and by contrast, its role in the promotion of outlying suburban shopping districts and its incorporation into our neighborhoods and residences." "Like Jakle and Sculle's earlier works on car culture, Lots of Parking will fascinate professional planners, landscape designers, geographers, environmental historians, and interested citizens alike."--BOOK JACKET.
