Will multi-storey car parks still matter in the cities of the future? The answer is a resounding yes. Multi-storey car parks are evolving into environmentally friendly mobility and service hubs, playing a key role in advancing the mobility transition.
Road traffic currently accounts for around a fifth of all greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union 1. To meet the Green Deal’s objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050, it is essential to establish the prerequisites for the lowest possible emissions in mobility. Prof. Dr. Peter König, Head of Transport and Technology at ADAC Mittelrhein, highlights the significance of holistic parking solutions in this context: “Parking is a crucial factor in urban mobility and, as such, it requires a holistic approach 2.“
The challenges ahead are substantial, requiring towns and cities to speed up the mobility transition while improving people’s quality of life. What will mobility look like in the future? What opportunities can we make the most of right now?
