Editor’s Note

I am biased. I know as editor I am not supposed to play favorites—but having spent 20 years in the design and construction industry, I knew before I started that this issue would be my favorite so far. October’s Parking & Mobility focuses on planning, design, and construction, a topic that touches all facets of parking and mobility. 

Our industry is flush with creative minds and innovative thinkers in planning, architecture, engineering, and building. Well-designed parking facilities are high-performing, safe, designed for low maintenance cost, and most importantly they are easily and efficiently useable. Parking and mobility influence the flow of our communities, and good planning, design, and construction are keys to successfully managing that influence.

We have gathered a wonderful variety of content for you from several creative and talented companies who bring parking and mobility projects to life. We have also doubled down on providing you extraordinary examples of successful planning, design, and construction for parking and mobility; in 2023, every issue of Parking & Mobility will feature a Parking Spotlight column highlighting an outstanding, innovative project. That’s 12 months’ worth of case studies—12 projects, each with a story to tell.
