Why and how to reduce the amount of land paved for roads and parking facilities

Abstract

A significant portion of the built environment consists of impervious surface ~land covered by materials impenetrable to water, such as asphalt, concrete, brick, and stone!, much of which consists of land paved for roads and parking facilities. Current policies and planning practices tend to increase road and parking facility land area. Public policy and planning reforms described in this report can significantly reduce the amount of land that must be paved for transportation facilities, providing significant economic, social, and environmental benefits.
