DEFICIT OF PUBLIC PARKING SPACES IN HOUSING ESTATES ON THE EXAMPLE OF A STREET IN WARSAW

Warsaw of the 21st century is struggling with many problems in the context of urban planning, and one of them is the deficit of public parking spaces. The aim of the research is to assess newly built housing estates in Warsaw in terms of providing a sufficient number of public parking spaces. The study adopted the in situ inspection method and was supported by a diagnostic survey in the form of a questionnaire. The article analyzes two housing estates with service premises on the ground floor at Komputerowa Street in Warsaw's Mokotów district. The analyzed area is covered by the Local Spatial Development Plan, which would indicate a well-planned space, but the solutions confronted with reality turn out to be insufficient for the needs of a contemporary inhabitant of the capital. The article also examines nowadays pro-ecological methods of city planning, which introduce restrictions on car traffic, and analyzes the possibility of using them in the discussed housing estates.
