    Parking private cars directly next to buildings substantially reduces activities in public spaces, as the area is dominated by vehicles. In contrast, parking cars some distance away from residences allows streets to be used by both people and cars, improving opportunities for neighbor interactions. Studies found that parking cars at the end of roads replaces vehicle traffic with more pedestrian traffic, improving the street environment.

    making transportation public or private

    If it is deemed necessary to drive


    Car parking and activity patterns private cars right up to the building,
    activities in the public spaces will
    generally be substantially reduced.

    In residential areas where cars are


    parked some distance away rather
    than next to the buildings, the
    walk through the neighborhood to
    and from the car constitutes an
    important and pleasant part of
    every trip.

    1. When cars are parked at the entrance,


    only cars will be found in the street.

    2. When cars are parked at the curb,


    people as well as cars will be found
    in the street. Greater opportunities for
    neighbor contacts will materialize.

    3. When cars are parked at the end


    of the road, pedestrian traffic replaces
    vehicular traffic.
    (From street studies in Melbourne
    [21].)
