Important results from the project
The project has increased knowledge about challenges in today´s parking facilities and how the design affects safety and well-being in and around facilities for parking and mobility. The project has resulted in a knowledge guide on how facilities can be designed where different user groups feel safe, invited and inspired to use to travel more sustainably as well as a step-by-step process for how transformation can take place.
Expected long term effects
Conversion of more unsafe parking facilities into living mobility houses. Today´s problems with crime and vandalism make housing companies, property owners and municipalities hesitant to invest in new mobility homes. A rough assessment is that there may be around 4,000 parking facilities in Sweden - a great resource for conversion that can make sustainable alternatives available for a large number of residents and reduce the need for their own car.
Approach and implementation
The project has been implemented through four work packages: WP1: Projektledning WP2: Case studies - mapping of conditions in each facility and of the state of knowledge in general through previous research, studies and experiences. WP3: Development of solutions for case studies and general recommendations and design concepts. WP4: Final reporting and dissemination of results Schedule has been followed with some delay in order to book the necessary meetings with a reference group.
