The author discusses his book "Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World."

Henry Grabar will explore how the pursuit of the perfect parking space has forced us to sacrifice affordable housing, attractive architecture, walkable neighborhoods, and lively town centers in favor of congestion, sprawl, and waste, weaving the parking fixation into the history of the postwar American city. He will also discuss his reporting on how cities and towns across the country are beginning to challenge this legacy of 20th-century car culture, with surprising results.
