Are your parking strategies fit to support tomorrow's Town Centre?

Town centre parking strategies training courses - are they fit for the future?

There are significant structural changes afoot in our urban centres. Aviva Investors, with £20 billion worth of property under management in the UK is making strategic changes as it believes store-based retail is set to “decline significantly”.

The successful High Street is emerging as a destination for social and leisure activities. The demand for affordable housing within the town centre continues, not only from the young but also an ageing population seeking access to the services and entertainment offered by an urban centre.

With trends to own cars diminishing new opportunities and changes are arising from autonomous vehicles and mobility as a service that will impact not only as to how people travel but what infrastructure is required. Modern day concerns include air quality and a greater appreciation of the need to respond to urban life by designing cities for people. These factors are presenting a new context for the decisions facing urban planners and the parking strategies that support those decisions.
