John Tookey: AUT Professor of Future Environments on Paris implementing higher parking fees for larger vehicles

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Thursdays

SUV drivers in Paris are facing a financial blow after residents voted to hike parking fees for larger vehicles.  The vote was initiated by the French capital's socialist mayor and will see those driving vehicles weighing more than 1.6 tonnes pay the equivalent of $30 an hour to park in the inner city.  AUT Professor of Future Environments John Tookey told Mike Hosking that people should expect more of these kinds of measures.  He says higher parking rates for larger vehicles are an inevitable way forward.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
