Many cities struggle with the parking issue, resulting mainly in higher prices (Amsterdam being the most expensive in the world) and expensive and risky parking garage construction projects in historic city centers. ULURU|Beagle thinks a lot can be gained from the space that is already there by using it more efficiently.

Flexpark is all about flexible parking: saving space by fitting your car in the most efficient spot. You can reserve your parking space in advance based on car size, price, term, location and additional services like security and battery charging for electric cars. The result: more cars parked in the same space and fair prices. As you pay per centimeter Flexpark stimulates driving smaller cars allowing even more cars to be parked.

Technology is proven, using satnav to navigate and communicate with Flexpark and using LED to frame and guide you to your exact spot. Actually, city counsils could start right now using just a bucket of paint…

From over 3000 (!) participants from 96 countries ULURU|Beagle made it to the final 66! Do we agree with the jury on the winning concepts? Let’s just say we think our concept is certainly realistic and is bound to show up somewhere in the future of urban parking. Kanagawa maybe?
