Parking garages are a 20th-century invention. Almost as soon as cars were invented and popularized, cities had to look for places to put them when they were not in use. The 1950s saw a parking-garage boom in America, and according to architectural historians, garages were “a training ground for the 20th century's best-known architects.” Nowadays, the structures are so widespread that some urban planners question their primacy, wondering if there will be better uses for the space they take up if and when driverless cars become the norm.
