Sammanfattning
Today there are approximately 20 million parking spaces in Sweden, which is more than four parking spaces per registered car. Yet the municipal demands are to build more at every new housing development, even though parking is strongly connected to car use and high greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the construction of parking is a considerable part of the construction cost in new housing development. With this as a starting point, this thesis investigates; how Swedish cities are managing parking and mobility today, how parking can be managed more sustainably in the future, and how parking affects the development and building of new housing. As a method for answering this, a survey and interview study have been conducted with involved stakeholders, to get a wide picture of the current situation and future possibilities for change, a complementary document study has been conducted as well. In this thesis, an interpretation of the middle-out framework is used to analyse the different stakeholders’ roles in enabling and sustaining the identified need for change within the management of parking and mobility in new housing development in Sweden. This thesis identifies a need for increased sharing around parking and mobility, leading to a need for planning at a neighbourhood level to create a functioning market for parking and mobility. To reach this, there is a need for more evidence-based decisions for stakeholders to be able to make decisions that may be challenging and less popular, differing from current societal norms, and which are aimed at promoting sustainable development. Furthermore, it is of the essence to plan for the cities we want, not basing decisions on the current situation and norms. As future research it is important to further establish how different mobility services correspond to a reduction in parking demand, further evaluate the legal room connected to the issues, as well as the effect a separation of the parking and mobility market from the housing market would have
