Mobilising Mobility: Changing the parking fundamentals

Throughout the world, cities are making bold decisions about cars in their streets… and buildings. This webinar presented recent insights on parking issues that will reshape our cities and our mobility in a fundamental way.

How do we shape and regulate the built environment in our cities? Can we drastically cut parking from the public space? How will new mobility change parking needs and parking behaviour – and how should cities respond? 

The webinar was moderated by Ivo Cré.
