First and foremost, car parks are for drivers. However, is it possible to make them more pleasant for those who do not use cars? Definitely yes! This article outlines a number of methods to do just that.
Greenery, greenery and more greenery
Adding flowers, shrubs or even small trees planted in flowerpots or directly in soil will definitely make the landscape more attractive. Such changes make a significant difference on hot days, when it is simply too hot for people to function normally. Green spaces are also desirable when it comes to the environment.
Car-sharing fleet
Expensive fuel and rising car prices act as effective deterrents against purchasing new cars. Earmarking a few car parking spaces for shared vehicles is an interesting solution. Such services are usually provided by car sharing companies. This means that a shared car can be borrowed from or dropped off at a convenient car park.
Charging stations
The number of people using electric bikes or scooters to travel to work is rising. Therefore, it would be a good idea to set up charging stations for such commuters. This is particularly important in workplaces as otherwise employees will bring their scooter right into the office to charge it. A charging point in a car park or in front of an office building means employees can charge their rides without having to clatter the officer.
Parcel lockers
Car parks are an ideal location for parcel lockers. Security, an option to leave your car somewhere for a moment and, especially for underground car parks, protection against the elements make car parks an ideal venue for collecting and sending parcels.
Summary
Transforming car parks is a superb idea, which neatly falls in line with ESG concepts. Undoubtedly all car park owners should follow suit.
