Aparcamientos de ayer para vehiculos de hoy. Reflexion hacia nuevas normas urbano- Arquitectonicas

Throughout the world, the densification of cities has led to vehicle congestion as a result of mobility requirements and the demand for car parking solutions in all new housing developments. In many countries, the building regulations for the construction of car parks establish specifications for vehicle dimensions that go beyond those currently produced by the motor industry. This investigation examines the problem with a case study of the city of Santiago de Cali. From the study it may be concluded that it is the responsibility of each government to reassess the urban-architectural requirements related to the dimensions of car parking spaces and to define criteria that respond to the sizes of modern vehicles.
