Swedish term

parkeringsköp

Swedish to English Other Other urban planning
The document in question is the summary of an academic paper on the situation in Swedish cities where increased densification of urban areas is affecting areas which have been set aside for parking.

"Godkänd lösning för parkering är ett myndighetskrav för erhållet bygglov. Parkeringsköp är en lösning som godkänns av lagen som parkering utanför den egna fastigheten. Kommunen kan vara part i parkeringsköpsavtalet med rollen som markupplåtare och ansvarig för att iordningsställa parkeringen."

I understand the concept "parkeringsköp" to be something in the line of purchasing public parking surfaces. But am not certain. Is it a purchase or a lease?

The customer has referred to Donald Shoup and Todd Litman as possible sources for the correct term, however I have not been able to identify anything remotely promising in a quick skim of their work on urban planning.

parking purchase

see p. 3 of the attached: Parking purchase is another way to solve the parking issue. The public legal obligation to
provide parking space is then transformed, through a civil contract, to an obligation to financially contribute to a municipal or private parking facility.
