This thesis analyzes the topic of the parking garages in the “Park and Ride” system as a possibility of effectively resolving the issue of traffic jams in the center of a city such as Pula. The focus of this work will be the analysis of the urban area of Pula where the previously mentioned issue has been detected, which is especially noticeable during the tourist season i. e. during the summer months. We will commence this paper by analyzing the city of Pula and by singling out two of the most influential urbanization periods in its history, which have greatly affected the architecture of Pula as we know it today. The problem we have today, and we are referring to the emergence of traffic jams in the city center, is closely related to the mentioned time periods. Furthermore, we present a vision of the future development of Pula as a green city without traffic going through the city center itself. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to extend the pedestrian zones and to transfer the parking spaces from the center to the downtown periphery. It is here where the “Park and Ride” system presents itself as the most effective solution for creating a larger quantity of the parking spaces at the downtown periphery and for eliminating the transit traffic passing through the city center. Additionally, we will also touch upon the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for the city of Pula which has been actuated by the European Union with the goals of reducing the traffic in the city center and increasing the appeal and the quality of the urban environment, which also includes the “Park and Ride” structure. In the last part of the thesis, we will analyze the “Park and Ride” system along with the various other types of parking garages which are the most important element of the mentioned system. We will also discuss the most functionally important elements of the parking garages, such as parking surfaces, ramps etc. The closing section of the thesis will present a conceptual project of a parking lot situated at the downtown periphery in “Pragrande” neighborhood, which is based upon all the analyses previously performed.
