While large car parks are doing their appearance at Le Havre, I find it interesting to make a point about this little known economic activity.
parking activities are profitable for companies involved in this market. The Netherlands Q-Park, owned by ING to the tune of 20% of Dutch pension funds and German, has 610,000 parking spaces in Europe, including those of the hospital Jacques Monod of Le Havre. The direct competitor of this company has called Vinci 1, 1 million parking spaces in the world. The cost of parking is 15% "cruising" every year. The market is doing so well that Vinci has its own radio broadcast in the car: radio Vinci Park !
In France large cities have three types of management: live, creating a mixed economy company, establishing concessions. In general, these last thirty years.
In my opinion, relations between the private and public should not be conflicting but complementary. It is located at the crossroads of divergent interests. The motorist trying to park, most often as cheap as possible or free. A local authority wishes to rotations of cars for its dealers can get customers. As for the car companies, they seek to be logically financial benefits. There arises, however legitimate questions about the creation or existence of car parks managed directly by municipalities that are empty or nearly empty. In these cases, we must consider that there errors or implementation errors in image management. If the car spent a day under private management, it would mark a clear failure for the community but it's better than losing it in public money. On the other hand, I think the parking policy should play in an urban area rather than at a joint. It is still embryonic at the moment.
Future parking projects in France often involve hospitals. They have, in general, large land areas and want to return. As for hypermarkets, the image of the United States, they may in the future want to make their parking lots ... The first to take this decision will certainly have good reasons not to scare away customers. To quote a recent article in Le Monde, "the private market is also growing in real estate programs where parking is shared between a shopping mall, multiplexes, offices and residences, to maximize the number of places and duration of occupation. " It was exactly thinking about the situation of Le Havre.
