Paving Over How Much Paradise? With Professors Lewis Lehe and Michael Manville
An Event from the UCLA Center for Parking Policy Tuesday, February 10th, 2026 Paving Over How Much Paradise? With Professors Lewis Lehe and Michael Manville Join us for a virtual event to hear Professors Lewis Lehe of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Michael Manville of UCLA discuss how parking shapes our cities — how much land is devoted to parking, how researchers measure its footprint, and what we give up in exchange for so much parking. Following their presentations, Ellen Schwartz, manager of the UCLA Center for Parking Policy, will introduce a new synthesis summarizing research on the many impacts of parking infrastructure, how minimum parking requirements contribute to oversupply or otherwise shape or constrain new development, and the early outcomes from cities that have eliminated them. After the presentations, Adam Millard-Ball will moderate a speaker Q&A and audience discussion.
