Cities can start reducing parking at destinations like airports, concert venues, bars and restaurants and in downtown areas, according to a new University of Colorado study.

As the population grows, “nearly half the land in Denver’s city limits is now paved or built over,” shrinking the city's green space, according to a recent series in Denver Post.

It’s the roads, driveways and – perhaps most egregiously – the parking lots we’ve built to accommodate more cars.
