total capacity of 1,700 parking spaces. Residents and visitors can park their bikes free of charge. Ghentians also have the option to <strong>rent bicycle parking spaces</strong> in 10 neighbourhood bicycle parking facilities, secured with a personal badge for access. </span></p><p><span>Ghent’s <strong>25 neighbourhoods are structurally screened</strong> to determine where new bicycle parking spaces can be created on public domain. The 100m-standard ensures that every resident is able to find a safe bike parking spot within just 100 meters from home. Citizens help to identify the optimal locations for bicycle parking. Between 2015 and 2023, this resulted in about 8.500 additional bicycle parking spaces. In 2023, a new round of neighbourhoord screening began, with a particular focus on parking spaces for oversized bicycles, aiming for a total share of 10%. </span></p><p><span>Ghent also experiments
