Trend Report Parking facilities

Parking is and remains a topic that generates a lot of discussion. In particular, politicians and urban planners are concerned with the question of how to continue to create needed parking spaces despite the scarcely available supply of space and the high demand for housing, or how to make better use of the marginally available spaces. At first glance, parking facilities seem to be a solution to this problem due to their mostly vertical construction. However, a closer look reveals that the utilisation of parking spaces often leaves much to be desired, even in locations that are in demand.

Our trend report, which is now available, aims at the reasons for this and deals with alternative forms and development possibilities to make multi-storey and underground car parks interesting and modern, not only as parking options. How the topics of traffic change and parking are interlinked is presented in more detail in the Trend Report. It also looks at rents and the investment market for parking facilities and discusses the attractiveness of multi-storey car parks for operators and investors: do multi-storey car parks still represent a worthwhile investment today or will politics and laws that want to ban cars more and more from cities ensure a decline in parking facilities in the future?
