Abstract
The antithesis of sustainability is the continued popularity and proliferation of car cultures. Every car requires two places to park it: at the start and at the end of its journey. Zuzana Blazeckova investigates the history of the car park, presenting case studies of the cultures formed around these unusual and often forgotten urban spaces.
