Cities are loosening rules on building parking spots with new buildings: ‘It’s about the climate, it’s about walkability’
on social media demonstrating the vast swathes of prime urban land given over to parking lots and pushing city councils to foster denser communities with more opportunities to walk, cycle or catch buses and trains rather than simply drive.
Nashville is among a new wave of cities hoping to do the same. “It’s about the climate, it’s about walkability, it’s reducing traffic and the need for everyone to have a car,” said Angie Henderson, a member of the Nashville metro council who proposed the parking change for the city’s core area. “Nashville is very much auto-orientated and making that shift is challenging,” added Henderson, who admitted that some residents complain about a lack of parking and have been unnerved by the changes. “We aren’t doing away with cars, this isn’t some sort of parking armageddon, but it will start to shift the market.”
