Karlsruhe transforms parking spaces into vibrant meeting places
On Park(ing) Day 2026, Lidellplatz in Karlsruhe will become the stage for a creative city idea: Instead of cars, small green islands with plants, tables, chairs, blankets, workshops, and small concerts will emerge. This format is part of European Mobility Week and sends a clear signal for more quality of life in public spaces.
