"The strength of the volume lies not in the presentation of new ideas, nor in supplying new evidence, but rather in the neatpackaging of scholarly and practical ideas and examples that have been central to the success of parking reform in recent years....The Shoup Doctrine excels in celebrating [ Shoup] and his ideas. I delighted in reading it, both for its content and for the way it reminded me that dogged pursuit of a defensible idea can lead to positive change in society. The volume will certainly become a go-to resource for teachers and activists who wish to disseminate persuasive argumentation about the economics of parking and Shoups vision for parking reform."
Michael Smart, Associate Professor, Rutgers University, review for Journal of Planning Education and Research
"The text offers something for a wide range of curious audiences. For those of us who knew or were mentored by Donald, portions of the book read as a warm tribute to the wit and wisdom he infused in his relationships and interactions. For planning academics, the book is a call to action for rethinking how planning research can be leveraged for positive change. For planning students, inspiration about how tenacity, humour and good ideas can make communities better and more affordable places to live. For practitioners, the book offers a useful collection of evidence-based parking reform from around the world. And, for all readers, The Shoup Doctrine is a well-written and engaging read, a worthy reflection of Donald Shoup."
Anne Brown, Associate Professor, University of Oregon, review for Town Planning Review
"The Shoup Doctrine transforms a mundane topic parking into a beguiling exploration of how cities can become more equitable and vibrant with reforms....The book is a valuable resource for urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in rethinking how cities allocate street space. It demonstrates how seemingly mundane parking policies can have far-reaching impacts on urban life....The book offers actionable insights for comprehensive parking reform and highlights the need for political advocacy to drive change."

While identifying and addressing the hidden costs of free parking, Donald Shoups work has engaged a far broader range of urban issues. Bringing together diverse voices inspired by Shoup, this compendium addresses critical issues facing cities, from equity, climate change, and sprawl to freight, micromobility, and the cut-throat politics of parking.
Ann Forsyth, PhD, Department Chairperson and Ruth and Frank Stanton Professor of Urban Planning in the Graduate School of Design, Harvard University
Donald Shoup is a giant in the world of urban transportation research and parking reform. He has done the world a tremendous service by teaching us about the foolishness of free parking regulations. Unusually for a first-rate scholar, he has also had a meaningful impact on urban policy. The Shoup Doctrine is a worthy tribute to him. It sparkles with essays from some of the best urbanist minds in the world, and I recommend it (and Donald Shoup's writing) highly.
Edward Glaeser, PhD, Fred and Eleanor Glimp Professor of Economics and Chairperson of the Department of Economics, Harvard University
Donald Shoup showed the world that something as colorless as parking reform can be transformative and far beyond wonky it is empowering! What a mess weve made. This book is a collective Thank you! to Donald Shoup for shining the light on parking darkness.
Emily Talen, Ph.D., Professor of Urbanism, University of Chicago
Donald Shoup is that rare academic who fully merges theory and practice in ways that are changing our cities. What a career. What a man. The Shoup Doctine is a must for anyone interested in transportation policy and practiceand how to merge the two.
Daniel Sperling, PhD, Distinguished Blue Planet Prize Professor of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science and Policy and Director of the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis
Ill never forget the first time I saw a citizen stand up at a community meeting and quote a 750-page tome called The High Cost of Free Parking. Has a set of wonky, academic, urban planning ideas ever so successfully escaped the ivory tower as Donald Shoups? The Shoup Doctrine demonstrates once and for all that in the Land of the Car-Blind, the professor who spent his career looking at parking is king.

Donald Shoup is the most creative scholar-theorist, and tinkerer to boot, of our time at the nexus of urban land use and transportation. This volume is a superb introduction to his workand, like the man himself, often delightful as well. An invaluable read for anyone with a serious interest in how better land use policies might improve the quality of urban life.
Alan Altshuler, Ph.D., Harvard University
