Ok things I think it would be cool to reuse covered parking garages for
And we are talking about those multi-floor kinda things the ones that look like this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These types. Idk if they’re super common outside of the states but I don’t think I’ve ever been in a city that DOESNT have one of these. They tend to be at least 2 to 4 floors tall, with stairwells and sometimes even elevators in each corner section. They’ve got ramps inside so cars can get from floor to floor, and parking spaces all along the insides too. And lights as well.
In a solarpunk future-world there would be A Lot Less Need for cars. I don’t imagine they’d cease to exist entirely (they’re still important for accessibility) but definitely not as much as would necessitate building or having these behemoth concrete parking garages (or several, as there are TONS in my city esp downtown.) ‘Stop building more of them’ is one thinf, but what could we do with the ones that would remain?
- Tear them down and use the space for something else is teeechnically an option, but could be complicated.
- The top part could be used as an urban solar farm! Honestly I think the tops of parking covers should have solar panels anyways, but yknow.
- Vertical farms! Genuinely didn’t come up with this one, saw it in another post, but I do like it! Put some grow lights in and they could be a nice concentrated place to grow vegetables in little raised beds! You could even dedicate multiple floors to this!
- Market places! Could set up some stalls in there on weekends and have people shop around, while still having some protection from the elements! I’ve seen market places in parks, under bridges, and parking lots—an old parking garage could suit fine for that!
- Skate park? The asphalt might be a bit rough for falls, but it could maybe be fun to add a few extra ramps and rails and make it a skater’s paradise! (Please do note I cannot skate so if any skaters think this would be an Awful Idea by all means let me know)
Let me know if you think of other cool ideas!

tiefgarage am dom // köln altstadt
there is underground parking under the domplatte in cologne. that in itself is not spectacular information. however, you can immerse yourself in the history of cologne in this complex, because the remains of the old roman city wall run right through the underground car park, you can look into a cellar from the same period and discover a hidden medieval well. the whole thing is embedded in the brutalist architecture of the garage. on one side, the reinforced concrete of modern times  and on the other its ancient predecessor in an aesthetic symbiosis. and the best thing about it is that even when everything upstairs is flooded with crowds of tourists, it is relatively quiet and empty downstairs. apart from the cars, of course.

a (mostly) empty parking garage. i thought the repetition in the pipes was quite beautiful.
