Today, parking can no longer be considered in isolation. It is an integral part of the complex urban mobility system.
Since 2021, the Mayors and Local Authorities Exhibition (SMCL) has hosted Parkopolis, a dedicated space addressing the specific challenges of the parking ecosystem in connection with local authorities’ needs. It also fosters intra- and inter-sector collaboration.
