Parking Innovations

Parking Innovations are strategies that break the mold on urban parking lot design. Rather than designing a city around ample parking — incorporating parking spaces on every street or adding extensive surface lots – parking innovations design the city around people and community. Parking Innovations include decreasing the required minimum number of spots for new development, building vertical lots above- and below-ground to reduce the parking footprint, and developing creative structures that connect to the neighboring landscape.
