Can you name me one city that has regenerated its city centre,added footfall by incentivising car use and car parking?

Linked Guardian article on Pontevdra .

They closed all surface car parks in the city centre and opened underground ones and others on the periphery, with 1,686 free places.

Cork City is not covered with mass surface car parks and already has public and private multi-storey car parks so planning on building a huge underground car park in a marsh costing €€€ billions is not going to happen.


Any other ideas where you want to displace people with cars in our beautiful city centre?

Madrid is another great lesson being learned and applied across the world.

Fantasy

Madrid has an excellent Metro, Buses, Cycling infrastructure. It is also flat.
Rather than totally hyperbolise, let us count the amount of on street parking that has and is being removed, and start reversing that. There is absolutely no need for the vast widths of slippery footpaths.
Stacky, given the over 2 Dozen boarded up shops on Patrick Street, the Smack Alleys, do you really seriously think the overall strategy is working, or ever will?

Brave New World : City centre says sayonara to motorcars, bon giorno cyclists
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...event-post-crisis-return-of-traffic-pollution

“The Milan plan is so important is because it lays out a good playbook for how you can reset your cities now. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take a fresh look at your streets and make sure that they are set to achieve the outcomes that we want to achieve: not just moving cars as fast as possible from point A to point B, but making it possible for everyone to get around safely.

We know better in Cork though - we need more cars!!!

Hen and Egg

Places with dense populations can afford good public transport. In which case many to most dwellers don't need cars. Current City Council policies is to make it difficult to impossible to drive to near the City Centre and park. Result, tumbleweed.
