The Temporary Travel Office is updating it's database of parking lots  
and utopias in order to create more flexible visualizations and  
analyses.
We welcome new additions to our ongoing research archive from web- 
based visitors, as well as mobile participants. Data can be submitted  
in the form of voice recordings (via phone) and/or text and image  
uploads.

As our research is specifically focused on the development of parking  
within the United States, we can only support US-based participation.
To participate or just to see currently available data, point your

More about Parking Public:
Parking Public is a research initiative documenting specific  
histories of parking lot development as it relates to the more  
general ideology of utopian capitalism. The initiative involves a  
three part process: 1) in situ research of parking lots including  
participatory walking tours 2) general public surveys of  
idiosyncratic notions of utopia in contrast to the structured mundane  
reality of auto parking 3) a proposal for a monument/memorial  
(nonument) to the 20th century parking lot in the United States.
The Travel Office is conducting research in various cities and towns  
across the United States, as well as utilizing telecommunications  
technologies to document the interactions between local and networked  
spaces -- immediate and distant desires.
