CEOs for Cities is a national network of urban leaders dedicated to building and sustaining the next generation of great American cities.

One of the best things about cities is that they liberate people from the burden of cars. But for those times when driving is absolutely necessary, a New York entrepreneur has developed an innovative solution to reduce the hassle of parking: an automated parking garage. The garage takes your car from an entryway on the street and, using a series of elevators and slides, positions it into an underground space. When you're ready to retrieve it, the machine will deliver your auto back in under two minutes. Some models of the garage even include high security bomb sniffing devices and automatic car washes. See the BBC's video detailing the garage's operations or Engadget's article.
