Our final conference will take place on 15-16 June 2022 at the 'Sofia Grand Hotel' in Sofia, Bulgaria. The two-day event will allow you learn about the local results of our 16 project cities from across Europe that showcase their success related to on-, or off-street-parking and innovative solutions. Learn about parking regulations as a powerful tool to curb the negative externalities of passenger cars in cities! Use your unique chance to visit the local implementations of Sofia during a study visit!

As the only EU-funded project that solely focuses on new sustainable parking, we are delighted to showcase our results from the 16 Park4SUMP cities that range from Umea (SE) in the North to Lisbon (PT) in the West and Sofia (BG) in the East of Europe. You will have the opportunity to learn more about the local plans to reduce the negative externalities of passenger cars on urban areas, as well as local solutions to facilitate parking enforcement. Those stories of all 16 cities will present their success stories in two parallel sessions.

Are you a representative of a Bulgarian organisation or city? If so, we have a special treat for you, as we provide live simultaneous translation between English and Bulgarian. Furthermore, you have the change to attend a dedicated Park4SUMP training in Bulgarian. The dedicated event will take place in the afternoon of 16 June. Just indicate your participation in the general registration form.
