Here’s an idea for better cities: Make owners of big SUVs & pickups pay more to park.
That's what Montreal now does -- and it's the first North American city to try it.
In Bloomberg CityLab, I explored a groundbreaking way to fight back against car bloat.

As I told Canada's CBC News:
"'We are so used to subsidizing cars, treating streets as car parking, we don't even recognize what we've lost in doing so.' [Zipper] suggested using spaces once occupied by cars for bike lanes, gardens or cafés."

As I told NBC News:
“If we’re serious about reducing greenhouse-gas emissions, we have to be serious about reducing transportation emissions, and in order to do that we have to address the main source of those emissions, which come from cars and trucks on highways."
“And to that extent, we need to rethink how much we want to expand highways.”
