Parkcess part II - Parkyria

Purpose and goal

The goal of the project is to, in a collaboration between municipalities and property owners and service companies, develop concrete solutions to reduce CO2 and transportation already in the early stages of urban planning. Through more efficient processes and the sharing of resources, current industry practices are challenged. Using an iterative approach, the beta version of a digital platform for calculating parking requirements and a marketplace for parking purchases, Parkyria, is being developed.

Expected effects and result

The project can reduce CO2 emissions in new real estate projects and transports through better use of Sweden´s current 25 million parking spaces. Fewer new parking garages or parking houses need building, the space can instead be used for addtional housing or community services. The project has the potential to make the residents choose more sustainable transport solutions. The project can reduce the costs of newly built housing and provide new opportunities for the sharing economy for municipalities and property owners.

Planned approach and implementation

The project is a continuation of the pre-study Parkcess and will continue the work in the same way. Initially a deep dive into and interpretation and digitalisation of parking policies in Lund. Continuous digital development of the platform. Testing of the parking calculator and marketplace with a focus on projects in Lund. Ongoing evaluation of possible standardization of the platforms functions in collaboration with other participants. Further development of business model and knowledge dissemination.
