More information
An oversupply of parking spaces increases congestion around transit stations, thereby inhibiting walkability around transport hubs and decreasing their accessability. There is an urgent need for city planners in India to reconsider existing parking norms and develop options for parking reduction within TOD areas. Dr. Barter and Mr. Mulukutla will look into the role of parking space in TOD neighbourhoods and how it can be better designed to benefit communities living around them.
