CONTENT AND SUPPORT

Actual Building Code

Construction costs

• Average cost of building a parking space is $500 USD per m2

CUMMULATIVE BUILT SURFACES

Developers providing “exactly” the requirement

It’s illegal to build (houses, anything) for a car-free life

Requirement is higher than parking demand (market)

Case study: Doctores>> Redevelopment project

10 simulation scenarios compared:

• Base: condiciones actuales de tránsito vehicular en la zona

• 5,000 cajones: 3 usage levels (low, mid, high)

• 10,000 cajones: 3 usage levels (low, mid, high)
