From a broad outlook, most improvement has come from insistent pressures of the problem and from an increasingly realistic appreciation of probable consequences. Widespread efforts of considerable financial importance have been made in areas where the problem became acute and could no longer be ignored. In some instances, parking has significantly influenced national trends in finance, business, marketing, industry, and living. The problem continues to be of both local and national importance with manifold interlocking aspects, affecting our daily lives-in crowded centers of large cities, where parking inadequacy is most difficult to correct, and in smaller cities and towns, where the're is a saving grace of time and opportunity to plan and provide for future situations. For these reasons and the Eno Foundation's interest in all traffic problems, this publication is presented in the hope that it may contribute to continuing solutions, and that it may not only stimulate further studies of parking but form a basis for them.97
