Strategic Stillness: Urban Configurations Achieved Through Parking
    The dissertation is an examination of the parking phenomenon that is indicative of broader strategies in urban transformations - large-scale zoning changes, preservation of historic neighborhoods, housing affordability, commercial heterogeneity, and resident demographics. Throughout this analysis, parking remains a physical counterpart of immaterial negotiations between business owners and residents, car manufacturers and city planners, drivers and pedestrians, traffic engineers and architects.
