Award-winning journalist and Harvard planning fellow Henry Grabar explains how our pursuit of the perfect parking space worsens traffic, increases housing costs, endangers pedestrians, accelerates global warming, and, on a day-to-day basis, drives us to distraction. Better transportation infrastructure and smarter parking policy, by contrast, can make our cities more vibrant, just, and sustainable. Grabar is a staff writer at Slate and a Loeb fellow at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. His work has been published in the Atlantic, Guardian, Harper’s, and the Wall Street Journal. He is the author of “Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World” (Penguin, 2023). The Better Tomorrow Speaker Series is a joint venture of the Hawai‘i Community Foundation, Kaiāulu Kamehameha Schools, and the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.
