Parking Perspectives attended the Car Parks 2025 event hosted in London on 2nd April 2025. The Landor Links event focused on key areas of the lifespan of parking structures, including design, construction, operation and maintenance.
Parking Perspectives’ Director Andrew Potter spoke about drivers’ willingness to pay for wider parking bays and better ramp dimensions. He illustrated what this could mean for making the numbers stack up for car park regeneration.
After the presentation, attendees were given the chance to take part in The Car Park Choice Game, in which three teams competed to make the most optimal choices regarding where they would park in the city centre when representing users with different needs and desires. Meanwhile car park operators adjusted tariffs to attract users and achieve revenue targets.
The game was played over two ‘days’ with results shown for each team and each car park operator based on a model made by Parking Perspectives. The game was well received with high participation from those attending the event. It is hoped that people went away with a better understanding of the diversity of users’ needs and the wide range of factors, including parking bay size and ramp width, that influence car park selection.
You will next find the team at Parkex, hosted by the British Parking Association, in Coventry on 21st-22nd May 2025.
