How to implement a three-dimensional garage in old residential areas

Old residential areas' parking difficulties are currently a hot topic. There are many external factors leading to parking difficulties in old residential areas. When the old residential areas were built, parking spaces were only planned according to the economic and social conditions at that time. Therefore, it is difficult for the old residential areas to meet the parking needs now. The transformation of parking lots in old residential areas is also a very important matter. Sampu Xiao Bian is here to talk to everyone about the reasonable use ofmechanical parking systems to solve the current difficulties.

According to relevant data statistics, as of June 2019, the number of motor vehicles in China reached 340 million, with a gap of 65 million parking spaces. Due to historical reasons, many old residential areas in China do not have sufficient parking space planning. With the increase of vehicles, the parking pressure in old residential areas is increasing year by year. On the other hand, the lack of relevant parking laws is also a factor hindering the addition of mechanical parking systems in old residential areas. Even though Japan has twice our population density, they have not experienced the parking difficulties in old residential areas. This is because Japan designated the "Parking Garage Law" half a century ago (1962). It can be said that accelerating parking legislation is also a measure to increase people's happiness.

What are the main reasons why the development of mechanical parking systems in old residential areas is not taking off?

Compared with traditional parking lots, mechanical parking systems have obvious advantages: 50 parking spaces in a traditional parking lot require 1650 square meters, while a tower-type mechanical parking system only requires 50 square meters. In recent years, the slow promotion of mechanical parking systems in the market is mainly due to incomplete regulations, rather than insufficient demand. The government has provided subsidies for parking spaces and has promoted the development of mechanical parking systems through multiple channels, but the effect is limited.

The inability to obtain property rights for mechanical parking systems is also a reason for the slow development. Because parking facilities are part of real estate, they cannot be transferred and sold in the market. According to the "Urban Real Estate Management Law of the People's Republic of China," if houses are built on land obtained in accordance with the law, the ownership certificates for the houses (such as parking garages) can be issued, and the above-ground buildings can be transferred, mortgaged, and refinanced, but individual parking spaces cannot be granted property rights for buying and selling.

Currently, in many places where conditions permit, the promotion ofmechanical parking systems is in line with the development of smart cities by local governments. Mechanical parking spaces are an important solution to solve parking difficulties.
