CoParking is a term describing shared parking arrangements in which parking spaces are managed collectively and allocated to users according to complementary demand patterns. The concept builds on the traditional idea of shared parking and integrates digital technologies—such as real‑time booking, dynamic pricing, and flexible rental systems—to improve parking efficiency in urban environments.
Concept and Rationale
[edit]Urban areas often experience uneven demand for parking. For example, spaces in commercial districts may be underused during evenings and weekends, while residential areas encounter higher demand at those times. CoParking seeks to optimize the use of parking resources by coordinating these complementary demand patterns. Proponents argue that this approach:
- Optimizes land use by reducing the total number of parking spaces required.
- Reduces construction and maintenance costs.
- Contributes to sustainability by diminishing traffic congestion and lowering emissions as drivers spend less time searching for parking.
Studies on shared parking strategies have noted these potential benefits.[1]
Historical Background
[edit]Shared parking is not a new idea; it has been applied in various forms in mixed‑use developments over time. With the advent of mobile technology and digital payment systems, the practice has evolved. Modern platforms now allow users to reserve parking spaces on an hourly, daily, or monthly basis, marking a shift from static to dynamic management of parking resources.[2]
International Implementations
[edit]United States
[edit]In the United States, extensive parking infrastructure—with estimates of around 800 million parking spaces nationwide—has prompted several cities to experiment with shared parking models. In many instances, public–private partnerships and long‑term agreements involving municipal authorities, universities, and private operators have been used to improve parking management and revenue stabilization.[3][4]
France
[edit]French urban centers, particularly Paris, face significant challenges related to limited parking availability. With over 39 million vehicles registered nationally,[5] shared parking initiatives have been introduced as one strategy to better manage scarce parking resources in densely populated areas.
Belgium
[edit]In Belgium, where high vehicle density and limited urban space are common in cities like Brussels and Ghent, local authorities have incorporated shared parking models into urban planning efforts. These initiatives are designed to maximize the use of existing parking facilities, support walkable urban environments, and reduce reliance on private car ownership.[6]
Switzerland
[edit]Switzerland has seen a growing trend toward digital management of parking resources. Urban centers in the country have increasingly turned to technological solutions to address parking challenges. Digital platforms now assist in real‑time monitoring and allocation of parking spaces, contributing to more efficient use of urban infrastructure.[7]
