Check out this mechanised parking that could solve HDB's car park shortages

Trial test to be conducted in some areas.

Mechanised car parking is finally coming to HDB estates to solve car park park shortages. This was announced by Minister for National Development Khaw Boon Wan.

In his blog, Khaw said "s car ownership increases, car park shortages become a problem in HDB estates. We have raised the norms for car park provision in new estates. For old estates, we are adding new car park lots where land is available. This is however not always possible.

GPC MPs have suggested that we build some mechanised car parks where land is limited and existing car parks are severely short. They even joined HDB to study such automated systems overseas." (Check out video here.)

Khaw added: "As MPs on the ground, the GPC members are aware of the inconveniences caused to residents by localised parking shortages. I deeply appreciate their keen interest and offer of moral support and assistance.

The study is now complete and we have decided to try out some pilots in Bukit Panjang, Changi Village and Yishun, where there are severe parking shortages but there is no space to add more car park lots. The pilot will allow HDB to gauge public acceptance of the system."

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
