Books by Donald Shoup

Donald Shoup is Distinguished Research Professor of Urban Planning at the University of California, Los Angeles. He has spent most of his career studying the economics of parking, land use, and transportation policy, publishing extensively in academic journals before releasing The High Cost of Free Parking in 2005 and an updated edition in 2011. His work has directly influenced parking reform in cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago. He is the rare academic whose technical research has translated into measurable changes in municipal policy. He is also the informal leader of a loose community of parking reformers who call themselves Shoupistas.
