Park4SUMP
Park4SUMP, a game changer in urban parking management will work together with 16 European cities on integrating parking as a tool for sustainable urban mobility.
Although good parking management has proven beneficial in delivering sustainable urban mobility in cities, it is still one of the most underdeveloped sections within Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP) policies.
The Horizon 2020 project Park4SUMP aims to reverse this status by considering parking management as part of a wider strategy that can benefit urban mobility but also the overall quality of life of our cities. It also points to show that good parking management can help to free up public space, support local businesses, reduce search travel, generate revenues, and make our cities more attractive.
The project aims to help partner cities to:
- Integrate parking management into their (future) SUMP
- Free an average of 10% of public space currently used for parking using participatory planning
- Invest at least 10% of parking revenues into sustainable transport, active modes such as walking and
cycling and develop more human-centred neighbourhoods
Park4SUMP brings together 14 national governments to increase knowledge of how legislation on parking facilitates and hinders the use of effective parking management by cities in that state. The project is a partnership between organisations including POLIS, Edinburgh Napier University, Mobiel 21 and Isinnova; as well as cities and regions including Lisbon, Tallinn, Rotterdam, Trondheim and Arnhem-Nijmegen.
