Example domain paragraphs

Car-free living refers to a housing offer aimed at households that organise their everyday mobility primarily by bicycle, public transport, on foot or with a car-sharing car and want to use the spaces between the houses for other activities than parking cars standing around on them. It eliminates the cost of building an expensive underground parking garage in urban neighborhoods. It also eliminates the cross-subsidization of car-owning households by car-free households, which in turn saves costs.

The number of parking spaces (for car sharing, taxis, visitors) is significantly lower than in usual residential areas and is 0.2 or 0.1 parking spaces per residential unit in the settlements realised so far (with 1 to 3 parking spaces/WE otherwise usual). These parking spaces are generally concentrated around the periphery. The question of how much "car freedom" is sensible and enforceable in a specific case is settled in the planning process with the residents. There is a greater need for parking faciliti

In order to compare the car-free developments, the "parking space reduced" projects in the sdg21 database are called up, which have less than 0.7 parking spaces/WE. The indication " Car free households (arithmetical)" is calculated as follows: total number of residential units in the settlement or neighbourhood minus the number of parking spaces created (for CarSharing, visitors and car-owning households, if applicable).
