How to improve US cities and tackle the climate crisis? Get rid of parking spaces

by Danielle Renwick 26/5/23 The Guardian

What could New York achieve if it repurposed some of its 3m curbside parking spots?It could get rid of rats by moving trash off the sidewalks and into containers. It could create safe, cool play spaces for the more than 1m New Yorkers without easy park access. It could build bioswales to collect rainwater and prevent flooding during heavy storms.
