La nueva regulación busca favorecer una movilidad más sostenible, siempre que haya alternativa competitiva

Los nuevos pisos de Barcelona tendrán limitadas las plazas de aparcamiento en función de la cercanía al transporte público

Barcelona will impose stricter parking restrictions on new buildings and streets in the city and surrounding municipalities. The metropolitan area's urban planning committee approved a change in urban planning regulations on Thursday, updating the rules on parking spaces in residential and other buildings. The new standard, which will only apply to new properties and streets under new urban plans, can be summarized as parking spaces being limited according to the public transportation communications in each area.

The aim is to encourage more sustainable mobility, provided there is an alternative to private cars. The regulation distinguishes three territorial areas based on the level of public transport accessibility: within Barcelona's rings (similar to Madrid's M-30), outside but with good accessibility, and outside in municipalities where residents rely on private vehicles for their daily commute.
