I've been often wondering, how will we use all this car infrastructure once people advance past private cars?
What will become of that drive-in McDonald's?
I could imagine some sort of a small-scale factory using the building?
Multi-storey parking garages could also serve as storage space, maybe? The tilted floors make many things more difficult, though.
Multi-story car parks make for a decent base for apartment buildings. They usually are built in areas people actually want to go to. What will be more interesting is what will happen with the large parts of cities, which will be abandoned. To make any alternative work well, you need density and that requires giving up large parts of cities, if the population stays roughly constant.
Multi story car parks would make good bases for covered markets, or other community things I would suppose otherwise drive through diners would probably reclaimed the space within the restaurants. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ housing is always a good shout but it depends on population density and access to facilities :)
The reason you have a car park is because things you want are around it, so housing just being there instead of a car park means people have access to the things they want to use :3
I like my towns version of this, a legit throwback to the 1960s.
I’ve wondering whether that drice through is already on its way out. Maybe it’s just me who no longer uses them, but
