Henry Grabar: Mobility, Housing + Equity

Grabar’s book ignited national discussion about our built environment, particularly how the prioritization of parking has resulted in problems for housing development, transportation, and equity. In a city and state where transportation is the largest source of climate change pollution, local ordinances that require off-street parking have significant sustainability implications and on issues like mobility, housing, and equity.

Thanks to Destination Medical Center, AARP, Family Service Rochester, Sierra Club, cyclehoop , and Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota for hosting this dialogue in Rochester!
