Thus far in this blog, I have focused on small cities, but I think it's also important to explore larger cities, and the trends taking place. I realize that there are complex economic forces at play here, and I will not attempt, at this time, to offer a lesson in urban design. But some cities are taking steps to find alternatives to surface parking. This includes stacked parking, public transit, and underground parking. Here are some examples of Google Earth images of the most parking-concentrated urban cores:
Little Rock, Arkansas
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Columbus, Ohio - 1994
Columbus, Ohio - Present
