The main factors influencing the construction of parking lots in cities are considered, such as: construction and operating costs; type, location and use of the parking lot; availability and public transport possibilities; local vehicle ownership; a general need to reduce the use of high-emission vehicles. Foreign and domestic parking experience has been analyzed. The issues of the relation between the cost of parking, housing and the average net salary of residents are considered. Recommendations for the convenient design of parking lots are given. Dependences of the required number of parking lots for permanent and temporary parking of cars have been obtained.
