Kocani faces a severe parking shortage in its city center due to increasing vehicle numbers and uncoordinated urban development, causing traffic congestion, illegal parking, pedestrian hazards, and reduced urban quality of life.
This initiative will take an inclusive, research-driven approach, gathering data through surveys, interviews, and field assessments to map parking availability, traffic flow, and problem areas.
Based on this, it will propose tailored solutions such as multi-level parking garages, street redesign, or smart parking systems.
Expected outcomes include raised public awareness, a realistic and widely supported parking improvement plan, and actionable recommendations to inform municipal decision-making and investment.
