[...] Shoup is widely known as the &ldquo;parking guru&rdquo; whose ideas on parking policies have been implemented in cities around the world. His influential book, "The High Cost of Free Parking" ... has led a growing number of cities to adapt new policies for parking requirements and to charge fair market prices for curb parking.</p></em><br /><br /><p>Parking is a <a href="http://archinect.com/news/tag/15120/parking" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">gigantic factor</a> in determining how cities in the U.S. look and function, and no one knows that better than Donald Shoup. Any parking study worth its salt is indebted to Shoup's research.</p>
