2019年7月9日，纽约大学公共事务学院郭湛副教授应邀访问浙江大学公共管理学院，并为我院师生带来了题为“环卫扫街对居民汽车出行的影响——以纽约市为例的实证研究”的学术讲座。讲座由城市发展与管理系李学文副教授主持。
郭湛首先介绍了纽约、旧金山、芝加哥等美国城市的停车规则，结合目前的研究，重点介绍了纽约市关于环卫清扫街道的政策内容。由于在纽约环卫统一清扫街道的时间，禁止居民车辆停在扫街区域，此规定对于纽约居民汽车停放及出行产生了较大影响。根据这一规定产生的影响，郭湛对中心区居住路内停车的停车证制度、一周内居民选择扫街停车的时间、有无停车库居民汽车出行行为做了详细的数理模型分析。最后他简要论述了城市停车问题是一个复杂的综合性问题，纽约市环卫扫街政策给居民带来的停车及出行影响，需要从停车收费的机制、技术体系、管理配套、行政处罚等不同维度入手，这样才能在政策制定的层面得以更好的解决。
