GREEN CAR PARKS IN CITIES
Abstract
With the ever-increasing number of cars in cities, it is essential to find innovative and sustainable ways to address parking. Green parking in cities is an innovative concept that is becoming part of the modern urban environment and contributing to the creation of sustainable and green communities for the future. It aims to minimise the negative impacts of asphalt surfaces that are common in traditional car parks, but above all it is about the environment and human health. They provide many benefits for cities and their residents. First, green features such as trees and shrubs help reduce the heat island effect and improve air quality by trapping and filtering polluted particles. This has a positive effect on the health of residents and also helps to reduce the energy consumption of buildings in the area. A second benefit of green parking lots is their ability to capture and manage stormwater, thereby reducing the burden on the sewer system and increasing the city's resilience to extreme weather conditions.
