Sponsored Workshop by Interparking Group

Outline:
The concept of resilience and military preparedness for car parks in Europe is gaining attention, particularly in the context of urban security and infrastructure protection. This workshop will explore how parking facilities can contribute to broader security strategies.

Some key considerations include:

• Dual-use infrastructure: car parks can serve as emergency shelters or staging areas for crisis response.
• Security enhancements: Measures such as surveillance, reinforced structures, and controlled access can improve resilience.
• Integration with urban defense strategies: Parking facilities can be part of a city's preparedness plan, ensuring mobility and logistics support during emergencies.

The EU Preparedness Union Strategy also emphasizes a whole-of-society approach to resilience, incorporating civilian and military cooperation.
