Mobility equity in metropolitan regions

What did we do?

Research on social justice and mobility in Munich

We investigated how social justice, mobility, and social participation are interconnected in the context of a sustainable mobility transition in Munich. The diverse needs and perspectives of the city's society were of particular focus.

Together with residents at Piusplatz, we have also participatively designed and further developed the public space and local mobility services.

How did we do it?

Analysis and Participation for Greater Mobility Justice

Using a mobility (in)justice atlas and a survey with questionnaires, we have highlighted injustices, for example, regarding access to and reachability of transportation and public facilities, as well as burdens.

In participation formats, workshops, and activities with residents at Piusplatz, we have concretely redesigned space and mobility offerings.

Why did we do it?

Mobility for a Shared Future Explored

Because we want to actively contribute to sustainable and future-oriented mobility in Munich, in which all people can participate.

Our goal is to help shape mobility so that it becomes socially just, accessible, and suitable for everyday life in different realities.

Where did we do it?

Spatial focus
research

The research took place both on the city-wide level in Munich and in the research district Piusplatz in Berg am Laim.

In doing so, overarching developments in urban mobility were considered, as were specific local conditions and challenges in the neighborhood.

Die Karte zeigt die Mobilitätsressourcen und negative externe Effekte in verschiedenen Stadtteilen von München. Dunkelblaue Flächen stehen für Stadtteile mit hoher Mobilitätsressourcen und geringer benachteiligter Bevölkerung. Hellblaue Flächen zeigen Stadtteile mit hohen Mobilitätsressourcen, aber benachteiligter Bevölkerung. Dunkelrote Flächen markieren Stadtteile mit geringer Mobilitätsressourcen und benachteiligter Bevölkerung. Hellrote Flächen stehen für Stadtteile mit geringer Mobilitätsressourcen und geringer benachteiligter Bevölkerung. Die Karte gibt damit einen Überblick über die Verteilung von Mobilitätsressourcen und sozialen Benachteiligungen in München.

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?

  • In the year 2025:
    The people in the district can participate. They can express their ideas. There are discussions, surveys and meetings. Researchers are also starting their work.
  • In the year 2026:
    Some ideas are tried out.
    They are moved around the streets for a certain period of time.
  • In the year 2027:
    The results are evaluated.
    Consideration is given to how things can continue∙.
