Yes, car parking spaces (in Europe) are too small. How are four people supposed to get out of a car when parked in a typical European car parking bay in a shopping centre? Not to mention just the driver who can never fully open the door to get in and out.
No, car parking spaces are as big as required by law; and that is big enough. The passengers are supposed to leave the car before the driver slots it into the bay.

These opposing views open up several important questions:

1. How important is the size of the car parking space for a mall?
2. What dictates the size of the car parking space of a mall?
3. How big should the car parking bay be?
4. What other factors are or could influence this debate?
5. How to design car parking for a mall?
