Why mobility justice?
A broad focus on equity promotes social equality, inclusion and reduces conflicts for social harmony. Mobility equity increases acceptance and support for projects. It is crucial for sustainable development as it increases the use of active transportation and reduces emissions. Fair accessibility improves educational and work skills and fulfills basic needs, leading to higher quality of life and satisfaction.
Why an atlas?
Maps play an important role in policy and decision making as they provide clear and transparent indicators, visualize disparities and show complex spatial relationships. The use of maps promotes active stakeholder participation and optimizes policy making for a sustainable and equitable society.
Why a mobility (in)justice atlas?
To combat mobility inequalities, the first step is to identify them. The Mobility (In)Equity Atlas aims to highlight the most critical areas of transportation poverty where socially disadvantaged groups live in transport-deprived areas.
What is shown in the atlas?
There are several criteria for social and transportation disadvantage. To select the most representative categories, we conducted a workshop attended by representatives from academia, government, practitioners and institutions representing minorities.
The atlas will show combinations of categories, for example: low accessibility where older people live, low availability where migrants live, a high number of accidents where families with children live.
Accessibility Example: Low appreciation of accessibility to health services and where older people live
How do you use the atlas?
To summarize, you can check the table for critical values where the values are closer to -100; the closer they are to -100, the more critical the relationship is in Munich (step 1). If you find a relationship, you can check it in the summary table (step 2) and finally search for the required map (step 3).
We also show some examples of neighborhood summaries in a radar plot, for example Berg am Laim Ost.
A summary map is provided on which all socially disadvantaged groups and the transport disadvantages are overlaid.
In 2025, representatives from various municipalities regularly met as part of a Community of Practice to exchange ideas on meaningful practices with urban data for sustainable mobility.
How can questions of equitable mobility be jointly researched and shaped? The seminar „Planning for Mobility Justice“ at the TU Munich highlights different perspectives on mobility (in)justice.
Develop the next mobility innovations for metropolitan regions. Together. Possible. To make it happen.
A recent study from the ReMIX environment investigates, through urban experiments in Munich, how specific mobility futures are made effective by three central performative mechanisms.
How can mobility innovations be designed responsibly — and what political frameworks are needed for this?
At re:publica 2026 in Berlin, MCube was represented at Europe's largest digital and society conference – with all 21 cluster and campus initiatives of the BMFTR.
5,000 guests, many insights: TUM's Sustainability Day made sustainable innovation tangible.
MCube Consulting is introducing SmartEvent, a digital tool that makes event registration in Munich easier and more efficient through the use of geodata.
The new study shows: Every euro invested in public transport in the MVV generates almost four times the economic value added.
Electric, autonomous, networked: The logistics industry is facing a major transformation. The MCube Speaker Series at the Deutsches Museum discussed how this future can become reality.
What is MOSAIQ?
Imagine something: There is more space for people. The streets have more trees and plants. Everyone can get around better. That's how your Schwabing-West district could be in the future. How would you like your district to be? We want to talk to you about it!
The project is called MOSAIQ. MOSAIQ is a research∙project. MOSAIQ means: Mobility and urban climate in the future city∙part. The Technical University of Munich is leading the project.
What is MOSAIQ about?
MOSAIQ wants to make the streets in the city∙part more beautiful. People should feel comfortable there. There should be more space. For meetings and plants, for example. You can help decide what is tried out in the Stadt∙teil. The ideas come from you. Some ideas will be tried out on the streets for a certain period of time.
The aim of MOSAIQ is to make urban districts good places to live.
At the same time, the climate in the city should improve. And people should be able to move around the city easily.
What is happening in the district?
