Due to density and high real-estate prices it is no longer feasible for cities to waste valuable land on the parking spot. Parking on street level also causes congestion, detracts from the beauty of the city, and cause unnecessary danger to pedestrians and cyclists.__

Instead of having an urban parking layer at street level this project proposes to integrate urban parking into the vertical fabric of cities.__

The concept of rapid light rail systems sweeping with vibrant color, wrapping their way through the city, collecting peoples parked vehicles at drop off points, located throughout, becoming part of an automotive ballet in the sky, offers a range of fantastic benefits:-

***Cleans street level clutter freeing space for pedestrian, commercial and civic expansion
***Safe and secure parking that also protects the car from environmental hazards
***Offers a powerful and vibrant sculptural experience for city dwellers
***Colored rails offer way finding and street lighting
***Each node can become a mobile advertising space
***Makes parking easy and enjoyable
***Creates space for human parks, rather than car parks.__

The user friendly system allows the driver to reclaim their parked vehicle at any of the drop off points throughout the city, this allows people to continue moving forwards in life rather than having to move backwards.
