Parking is an important element of urban transport, especially vital for sustainable urban development. Parking facilities provide parking services and contribute to the success of urban planning in general by regulating transport demand and increasing accessibility to services in urban areas. Contrary to its importance, the parking development is not receiving sufficient attention compared to other elements of the urban transport system, which recently led to several issues, such as illegal parking, traffic congestion, traffic accidents, and illegal space consumption. These problems are serious in developing countries and populous cities where relying much on private motorized transport and public parking is not developed properly and is inefficient. In Vietnamese cities, parking-related problems occur frequently and keep getting worse mainly because of the rapid increase in the number of private motorized vehicles and travel demands.
This study aims to develop parking policies supporting sustainable urban mobility in Vietnamese cities. The parking policies are grouped into four main groups: parking provision policies, user management policies, and fee policies. The study proposes multiple policies that have positive impacts not only on parking development but also on the transport system in general. Besides the change in parking development strategies is the major propulsory for sustainable movements, the most prioritized policies are (1) diversifying the parking supply and parking type in urban centers and (2) applying market and demand-driven pricing mechanisms.
