ECF

Cities can – and must – fundamentally change mobility behaviour by addressing the availability of parking spaces for bicycles and cars. 

This event, organised by PARK4SUMP, HANDSHAKE and ECF will explain what is at stake:

• We will build a case for "maximum" requirements: Most countries have so-called “minimum requirements”. That implies building developers can build more if they want. Fixed maximum car parking allowances limit how much parking is provided in new buildings in order to reduce costs and deal with all other named problems.
• We will showcase innovative ways to address parking and mobility norms, through neighbourhood parking and mixed use parking.
• We will build a case for bicycle parking to to become a norm in the parking sector, as formulated in the EPBD.

This event is specifically targeting EU and national decision makers, who are currently discussing national approaches- as well as the EPBD. The event will provide an overview of current EU legislation and its impact on the local level, and will offer the opportunity to discuss challenges ahead, and potential solutions.
