Analysis of the Existing Situation and Strategic Framework<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span>We examine the main parking challenges in Sofia, the existing parking infrastructure and publicly proposed sites. We compare them with the objectives and measures set out in Sofia Municipality\u2019s strategic documents on mobility, climate, integrated development and the quality of the urban environment.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span>2. Identification of Potential Sites<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span>Through cadastral and spatial analysis, we identify a broad range of potential sites within Sofia\u2019s urban boundaries. We assess ownership, area and shape, planning regulations, existing use, infrastructure, transport accessibility and proximity to public transport and urban destinations.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span>3. Development of an Assessment Methodology<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span>We create a comprehensive system of over thirty criteria: spatial, quantitative and expert-based. These allow all 8 sites to be assessed using comparable indicators and compared according to their actual suitability for development. The assessment takes into account factors such as available area, planning regime, the need to amend the Detailed Development Plan, technical infrastructure, accessibility, tree vegetation, actual use, proximity to public transport and opportunities for combining parking with other public functions.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span>4. Prioritisation of Sites<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span>We compare the quantitative results with expert assessment and the specific characteristics of each site. The sites are grouped into high-, medium- and low-priority categories and linked to different implementation time horizons.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span>5. Development of an Action Plan<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span>For the 36 highly prioritised sites, we develop an operational framework for subsequent actions \u2013 spatial studies, indicative capacity, possible access solutions, potential for combining functions, public-private partnerships and the necessary administrative steps.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span>6. Integration of Parking into the Public Environment<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span>For each type of site, we explore opportunities for parking infrastructure to serve as a tool for improving the surrounding urban environment. We develop guidelines for green spaces for sports, play, recreation and public functions, as well as for the application of nature-based solutions, permeable surfaces, green roofs, landscaping and shading.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span>7. Preparation for Subsequent Design<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span>For some of the priority sites, we prepare the necessary studies and documentation for issuing a design brief, including combined sketches, geodetic surveys and expert assessments of tree vegetation.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
