Abstract in brief

  • Parking is a widespread feature of our built environment, but its effects on public health are not well studied, despite its significant land use and historical development.
  • The review identifies four main ways parking influences health: promoting car dependency, creating impervious surfaces that impact urban climate and flooding, affecting housing costs and related health outcomes, and the health impacts of parking lot design and maintenance.
  • While evidence supports these connections, more research is needed to fully understand how parking impacts public health, emphasizing the importance of including parking considerations in health-focused urban planning.

“In many cities, every 1,000 square feet of restaurant would require 10 parking spaces, meaning that the area of a typical restaurant’s parking lot is often several times larger than that of the restaurant itself.” https://t.co/nzAaDJK3fO

Why care about car parks? Parking lots contribute to air pollution, car crashes, inactivity, social isolation. Worse, they compound inequity. Parking is a public health intervention. #ParkingPolicy #PublicHealth #AirPollution #CarDependency #HealthEquity #CityPlanning Find out tinyurl.com/mpeuj4dh

@604commuter Drivers have been “stealing” #Vanpoli #Bcpoli taxpayer dollars for decades. Billions in driving, parking, and public health subsidies paid by all of us, whether we drive or not. And you’re whining about funding a tent and a few employees for a few months? GTFOH.
