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 impacts of parking infrastructure, the effects of minimum parking requirements, and what happens when cities repeal them. After the presentations, Adam Millard-Ball will moderate a speaker Q&A and audience discussion.
