摘要：	Regardless of how fuel efficient the cars are or how little pollution they emit, cars need to be parked somewhere and generally a car spends about 95 percent of its life parked and uses several parking spaces each week. Much of the world's urban fabric is subject to a ''conventional generic minimum" parking policy in which parking is treated as a type of infrastructure and the primary goal of a parking policy is to meet the demand for parking. But contemporary approach to parking problems is to reduce parking demand to better match parking supply and other spatial characteristics of the city. A well-defined parking regulation and parking price would provide bcuance between the parking demand, which varies by time of day, and a constant parking supply. A growing list of policy changes and innovations in parking has been implemented in many cities around the world. A growing number of European and North American cities are using parking policy to meet goals such as improving air quality, reducing traffic congestion, making streets more liveable, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and freeing up road space for bike lanes and public space. But little information has been collected and analysed on parking policies and practices in India, a country of rapid urbanisation and motorisation. In most Indian cities, parking policy is either non-existent, poorly coordinated, or used to make personalised modes more convenient. At a time when Indian cities are on track of improving the public transport, it is very much necessary to implement tighter parking policy measures that induce more ridership by Mass Transit Systems.
