Cities are getting cramped

Nearly a third of the entire world’s population is predicted to live in cities – urban areas by 2050. Cities offer better standard of living, better healthcare facilities, lot of job and business opportunities. When most of us move to big cities, they tend to get cramped for space. This causes a lot of headache for city planners – especially as they got to accommodate more people, more vehicles – meaning cities need better and smarter infrastructure design solutions. And multi storey car parks – though not an old concept – fits right into any cramped city.

Top Trends in Parking Lot Management

Multi-storey car parks solves many problems

With subways and roads going underground, there’s only one way car parks can grow – upwards. There are numerous rewards for constructing a multi storey vehicle parking unit from the ground up. Here are five reasons why they work.

#1 Lack of space

Multi-storey parking facilities can store a lot more vehicles than any other parking space. If we combine automated ramps and lifts which can lift cars and park them without the need of a valet, then we can accommodate more vehicles in such parking spaces.

#2 Reduce traffic congestion

Because multi storey car parks are built from the ground up, they do not occupy too much ground space to accommodate a large quantity of vehicles. Leaving more space for walking strips and roads. This reduces traffic congestion.

#3 Better parking management

Even at multi-storey parking facilities which are operated manually – no robots or automated ramps or lifts – valet drivers are much more efficient and quick in parking and retrieving vehicles. Thereby allowing for better management of car parking facilities.

#4 Better suited for technological upgrades

Modern day parking facilities are better equipped to install cutting edge parking technological solutions – such as IoT enabled sensors to highlight empty parking spaces and parking management apps with in-built navigation which takes the car owner directly to the empty slot.

#5 Safe from floods and heavy rains

Because multi-storey parking facilities are built from the ground up, they survive better against heavy floods and rains. As global warming affects major cities – especially the ones which are close to rivers and oceans – multi-storey parking facilities not only stand strong against natural calamities, but also protect vehicles from getting damaged. These facilities can also offer shelter to people during drastic times as well.
