Urban areas are typically densely populated and often face limited parking availability, which further increases the demand for parking lots and garages. For example, in 2023, according to data from the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based specialized agency, the share of the global population living in urban areas is projected to reach 68% by 2050.
