Mobility (in)justice atlas

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.
