| Title | The Value of Parking |
| Abstract | This panel addresses the critical value of parking in Canadian cities amidst competing urban demands. As municipalities strive to balance the needs of drivers with the space requirements for housing, cycling, transit priority, and public realm enhancements, effective decision-making becomes essential. Panelists, including planners and city staff, will discuss the trade-offs involved in parking provisions and how these decisions align with broader city-building goals, such as equity and sustainability. By sharing their experiences and strategies, the panel aims to foster a collaborative dialogue on creating integrated urban environments that serve diverse community needs while promoting efficient mobility solutions. |
