Designed to accommodate the needs of private vehicles, they occupy central locations, shape skylines, and consume considerable resources, yet rarely receive the same attention \u2014 or architectural care \u2014 as cultural institutions, schools, or housing. Despite their prevalence, these buildings tend to fade into the background of daily life, treated as infrastructural necessities rather than as design opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>This is beginning to change. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/urban-mobility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">urban mobility<\/a> undergoes profound transformations \u2014 from the decline of car ownership to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030500\/how-will-transportation-work-in-the-future-a-look-at-the-rise-of-electric-mobility-in-cities?ad_campaign=normal-tag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the rise of electric vehicles<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/public-transport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shared transport systems<\/a> \u2014 the role of parking infrastructure is being redefined. Architects and planners are reimagining garages as adaptable frameworks that integrate public space, ecological functions, and mixed-use programs. These new approaches challenge the perception of parking as a residual typology and instead position it as a civic structure with the potential to support more inclusive, flexible, and sustainable urban models.<\/p>\n<p class=\"thumbs afd-desktop-e clearfix\"><a class=\"thumbs__link\" data-nr-picture-id=\"68b57562bfa20d018a1bb67f\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1033620\/more-than-parking-12-projects-to-reclaim-urban-space\/68b57562bfa20d018a1bb67f-more-than-parking-12-projects-to-reclaim-urban-space-photo\" rel=\"attachment noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"More Than Parking: 12 Projects to Reclaim Urban Space - Image 2 of 31\" class=\"thumbs__img b-lazy\" data-nr-picture-id=\"68b57562bfa20d018a1bb67f\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/more-than-parking-12-projects-to-reclaim-urban-space_1.jpg\" height=\"125\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1033620\/more-than-parking-12-projects-to-reclaim-urban-space\/68b57562bfa20d018a1bb67f-more-than-parking-12-projects-to-reclaim-urban-space-photo\" title=\"Hohenzollernho\u0308fe \/ Architekten Stein Hemmes Wirtz.
