On March 19, MAPC hosted an exclusive conversation with Henry Grabar as part of our MetroCommon 2050 speaker series. Grabar is a staff writer for Slate and author of "Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World."
“Finding the Fit: How Parking Policies Shape Our Neighborhoods and Determine Housing Outcomes” also brought together a panel of speakers to discuss how they are taking on the issue of the "perfect parking space," and advancing sustainable and equitable housing and transportation options.
Our panelists:
▪ Henry Grabar
▪ J.P. Caccaglia, Economic Development Manager, Town of Needham, MA
▪ Jay Monty, Transportation Director, City of Everett
▪ Sarah Lewis, Director of Planning, Preservation, & Zoning, City of Somerville
Moderator: Adi Nochur, MAPC Senior Transportation Planner
