ISINNOVA analyses parking policies and delivers recommendations for innovative parking management solutions for sixteen urban areas in Europe.

Challenge

Park4SUMP was developed for the European Commission, receiving funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme as an innovation action project.

Even though effective parking management is proven to be beneficial in delivering sustainable urban mobility in European cities, it is still one of the most underdeveloped sections of Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP).

Good parking management can help free up public space, support local businesses, reduce time spent looking for parking, generate revenues – and make cities more attractive.

Park4SUMP aims to help cities integrate innovative parking management solutions into Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs), putting parking management at the heart of a wider strategy to improve urban mobility and overall quality of life in European cities.

What We Did

ISINNOVA leads the analysis of innovative approaches in parking policies, additionally delivering on:

  • Analysis of innovative parking policies;
  • Engagement of stakeholders and social collectives in the analysis of innovative parking policies;
  • Preparation of innovation sheets on the key innovative parking policies.

ISINNOVA systematically involves urban experts and policy makers in these processes, deploying a series of innovation sessions to provide a deep dive on the key barriers and enablers with regards to the implementation of innovative parking policies.

Our Added Value

ISINNOVA draws on its extensive experience in transport and urban mobility to audit the quality of parking policies in the cities of Reggio Emilia (Italy) and Slatina (Romania).

Leading with innovation, ISINNOVA additionally delivers ten interactive sessions that focus on advancing parking policies with sixteen urban areas in Europe.
