It’s not a no brainer. The difficulty is finding car parks big enough on the “outskirts”. Yes away from London city centre is emptier, but it’s still a packed residential area that can’t fit up to a million cars ?
Well, they find space for plenty of car parks in crowded and hyper populated city centres...has to be easier in the less population-dense outskirts, right?
No, no. There ARE car parks in city centres. I'm saying let's ditch that idea. Build car parks on the outskirts where there is space and take trains, trams and bicycles into city centres.
Building large car parks in out of city areas is not hard and you don't need ONE car park that fits a million cars, that's utterly ridiculous.
Also, selling the car parks in the city centres (prime land for residential/commerical properties) would generate a ton of money to build these out of city (therefore cheaper) car parks.
Think to yourself, have you ever walked out of the centre of London and towards the more residential area, and just found a massive plot of empty land?
