March 11, 2026
Parkingand pedestrianization: a debate that will be central to the 2026 municipal elections.
In an article published by France Info, car parking appears as a highly sensitive subject in many cities, between the expectations of residents, the vitality of city centers and the transformations of public space.
Éric Gantelet, president of Sareco, is quoted twice to remind us that parking is neither an anecdotal nor purely technical subject, but rather a structuring lever of mobility and urban planning policies, provided that it is thought of in a coherent manner and adapted to local realities.
A useful insight as the municipal elections approach, which shows how parking choices crystallize debates and visions of the city.
