Overview
Background & policy context:
There is little knowledge of how lowering parking requirements for housing affects parking, car use, car ownership and residents’ daily lives.
Objectives:
This project examines the consequences of a municipal parking policy undergoing change, which includes lowered parking requirements.
Methodology:
The effects of lowered parking requirements are studied by analysing the consequences for residents in the centrally located, relatively newly built housing area of Porslinsfabriken in Gothenburg.
Porslinsfabriken, with its relatively low parking requirement of 0.57 places per apartment, is a good example of a parking policy being introduced in a growing number of Swedish municipalities. The present analysis is based on a survey and interviews with residents.
