Developments in the mobility sector such as sharing services, electromobility and autonomous driving are playing an increasingly important role in mobility planning and everyday urban life. However, they also raise urgent questions of fairness: Who can afford which forms of mobility? For whom do such offers contain which barriers (e.g. spatial, physical, emotional, social, cultural)? And how are issues of vulnerability and marginalization related to urban mobility planning? This is followed by larger questions relating to a mobility transition: Who gets to have a say in what the future of mobility in Munich looks like? Whose needs are heard? And - how can we ensure that a mobility transition in and around Munich does not further exacerbate existing spatial and social injustices? We want to investigate these questions as part of MGeM. To this end, we not only carry out research that enables better understanding, but also want to actively contribute to shaping fairer mobility. This is why we are working closely with stakeholders from urban politics and society: experience consulting, the City of Munich's planning department, ver.di and UnternehmerTUM are our official partners.
In these project modules, we work collaboratively and transdisciplinarily (in cooperation with actors from the field, with the aim of gaining concrete knowledge for a just mobility transition) on the questions listed above:
The mobility (in)equity atlas aims to identify these
questions to politicians, people interested in mobility and the general public.
to help them understand how mobility resources and the negative effects of
mobility are distributed among different social groups in Munich.
