Car parking spaces should be located away from homes to discourage usage, Oireachtas hears

'Transport-orientated development also means active discouragement of car-usage and ownership, by reducing parking availability or situating parking away from homes, at garages at the outskirts of the development,' expert says.
Car parking spaces should be located away from homes to encourage people to give up their cars, an Oireachtas committee has heard.
The Oireachtas housing committee met on Tuesday to discuss the issue of urban regeneration, with Dr Cathal FitzGerald, senior analyst at the National Economic and Social Council (Nesc), saying regeneration was only possible with the availability of transport.
