The effect was studied of inadequate parking on shifts in retail activity and the degree to which availability of ample parking facilities is a major asset to business. The problem was not found susceptible to the principals of precise mathematical formulae. Comparative analysis was made of downtown shopping centers and suburban shopping centers with regard to trends in the geographic and functional distribution of businesses as related to the relative availability of transportation and parking facilities. It is shown that there was a marked change in shopping habits accompanied by the spectacular growth of automobile use. The shift from public transit to private cars has had a substantial effect upon retail activities downtown.

With its decentralized urban areas, pollution, and mostly inadequate public transit systems, America pays a heavy price for its dependency on cars. This volume explores one of the more pressing aspects of the problem--storage--from 1910 to the end of World War II, contrasting the reality and perception of car parking as found in the pages of the popular newspapers and magazines. From early bans on street parking to street widening efforts to the introduction of parking lots, garages, and parking meters, the book chronicles attempts to accommodate the ever-increasing number of cars. By failing to effect any meaningful regulations along the way, this work shows, Americans slowly ceded authority and dominance to the automobile, to the detriment of present-day society.
