The average parking space requires approximately 300 square feet of asphalt. Thats the size of a studio apartment in New York and enough room to hold 10 bicycles. Space devoted to parking in growing urban and suburban areas is highly contested--not only from other uses from housing to parklets; but between drivers who feel entitled to easy access. Without parking management; parking is a free-for-all--a competitive sport--with arbitrary winners and losers. Historically drivers have been the overall winners in having free or low-cost parking; while an oversupply of parking has created a hostile environment for pedestrians.In the last 50 years; parking management has grown from a minor aspect of local policy and regulation to a central position in the provision of transportation access. The higher densities; tight land supplies; mixed land uses; environmental and social concerns; and alternative transportation modes of Smart Growth demand a different approach--actively managed parking.This book offers a set of tools and a method for strategic parking management so that communities can better use parking resources and avoid overbuilding parking. It explores new opportunities for making the most from every parking space in a sharing economy and taking advantage of new digital parking tools to increase user interaction and satisfaction. Examples are provided of successful approaches for parking management--from Pasadena to London. At its essence; the book provides a path forward for strategic parking management in a new era of tighter parking supplies.

Poor TOCBy MarkTOC needsThis guide is packed full of useful information a beginner can absorb; and; its not just aimed at academic writers preparing technical documents or thesis loaded with complex equations. I particularly liked the introduction to the concepts behind LaTeX; why it was created; how to install it (Windows; Mac or Linux Distributions); then slowly easing into basic formatting and organization. It covers the most important packages to know about for creating Professionally Typeset looking print; for example Microtype; Geometry etc... It focuses more on Environments; Sectioning; Formatting; Class Types and general Organization before getting jumping headlong into Equations; Tables; Graphics; etc. etc. But; it might take a while to see by glancing over the Table of Contents.What I didnt care for was the table of contents. Its overwhelming with too much useless detail. The TOC points out repeatedly that every chapter has a Time For Action; What Just Happened; Summary and Pop and Quiz sections without saying anything specific (many chapters have numerous Time For Action and What Just Happened sections) That just makes the TOC difficult to skim over to find the crucial section you might need at a given moment. So; Id recommened that they Fix it in a revision.That being said; this is the best; most concise guide Ive seen yet on scripting LaTeX.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Great book; no hesitationBy sshahrazI looked at any single review of the offered similar titles in and decided to purchase this one. I am happy. Here are my reflections:1. Great size; so a serious reader can read and practice it in less than a week and become a working LaTexer!2. The chapters are incremental3. To the extent I practiced it the examples are all correct and working4. Full of examples that can solve the problemsAre there LaTex problems that have not been addressed by this book? Of course. There are so many subtle ones that one needs to search internet to get a good handle on them.I recommend the book to all beginners.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good but not ModernBy Re_CTOGeneral knowledge only and appears to be somewhat dated.
