‘Carspreading’ to wipe out up to 14% of on-street parking in European cities – study

A new study analyses the relentless growth of newly sold cars across all key dimensions.

This photograph is part of a new collection of images highlighting the impact of 'carspreading' on the school run taken by photographer Crispin Huges for Clean Cities.

Carspreading is taking over our cities. Cars are getting bigger — about 1cm wider every two years. The thing is, our streets aren’t. More than half of new cars in Europe are too wide for urban parking spaces, leaving our cities crowded and congested. And carspreading is damaging our planet too - petrol and diesel SUVs burn around 20% more fuel, and electric SUVs require more resources and critical battery minerals. 

Clean Cities is Europe’s largest network of organisations dedicated to active, shared and electric urban mobility.
