Lea Ackerman, Marketing Co-ordinator at US company GSky, says car parks need not be the epitome of the concrete jungle.

High-rise car parks are a central element in many urban and suburban development projects, ensuring lower congestion and greater access to retail, housing, offices and more. They are often difficult to construct in a way that both improves the overall design of the developments and meets regulatory requirements for environmental concerns, all while keeping costs reasonable, and for that reason are generally not a priority.
