This year Parking World will be co-located with Better Places, an event looking at creating accessible, vibrant and attractive streets, urban centres and destinations.

Smarter parking delivers better places

Parking World is the leading forum for parking specialists working in both the on-street and off-street arenas. The event encompasses all aspects of parking management and enforcement in both the public and private sectors.

This year the event will be focussing on how smarter parking policy and management can help create better places. There will be a focus on: the provision and regulation of parking in town and city centres; the role of parking in improving air quality; the relationship between parking and public transport; and how parking data is central to the evolution of connected cars.

We will also debate whether changes in public behaviour, vehicle ownership and the advent of driverless cars could lead to a 'Post-parking' world.

The conference and exhibition provide an opportunity to learn about policy developments, discuss topical issues, share best practice and see the latest systems and services.
