I learned about it from the article &quot;How Beijing Is Rethinking Parking and Reclaiming Public Space&quot; by Liu Shaokun and Bram van Ooijen in the Nov. 2022 edition of Sustainable Transportation Magazine from the Institute of Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP).&amp;nbsp; I reached out to Shaokun and Bram, as well as Shaokun's colleague Huang Yangwen, for this month's Reinventing Parking podcast. [My apologies for the sound issue - an echo - at the 44 second mark, just after the intro music. Fortunately this lasts for only about 20 seconds or so.] Find out more HERE.  Reinventing Parking is the official podcast of the&amp;nbsp;Parking Reform Network! Why not join?
