December 2009 – January 2010
Asian Parking Study
Civic Exchange is participating in an Asian Parking Study sponsored by the Asian Development Bank. The objective of the Study is to better understand policies related to the supply and demand of parking in 14 Asian cities, including Hong Kong. As one of the collaborators, Civic Exchange is now conducting a simple survey on private car parking in Hong Kong between 21 December 2009 and 11 January 2010. If you drive a private car (not motor cycle), please help us fill in the survey form. It will take you less than 10 minutes to complete the survey, but the findings could possibly have a long-term impact on parking policy in Hong Kong. If you think this is a meaningful survey, please also ask your friends to participate by forwarding them the following links. Thank you in advance for your kind support.
