Review of the MCube research project aqt in Munich - Car-reduced neighborhoods for a livable city
In 2023, streets in Munich's Südliche Au and Walchenseeplatz districts were transformed into temporary green and recreational areas. The experiment sparked numerous discussions about the future of urban traffic and the design of neighborhoods.
The goal? Transforming street space to improve quality of life. The results that have now been published speak for themselves:
**What have we learned?
The aqt project lays the foundation for future initiatives. The transport and mobility transition is only just beginning - but the project has shown how change can be shaped together.

MCube aqt is a joint project of the BMBF-funded future cluster MCube under the leadership of the Technical University of Munich in cooperation with the City of Munich, Stadtwerke München GmbH, UnternehmerTUM, the Hans Sauer Foundation and other partners.
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.
Was kann Olympia für Münchens Mobilität bewirken? Im Galileo-Beitrag geht es um die Wertschöpfung der Spiele, Straßenumgestaltungen gegen Hitze und autonomes Fahren.
Wie verwandeln wir unsere Städte in klimaresiliente Lebensräume? Bei der MCube Speaker Series im Rahmen der Munich Climate Week diskutierten wir mit Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und öffentlicher Hand.
Welche wirtschaftlichen Effekte hat ein leistungsfähiger ÖPNV für eine ganze Region? In einer neuen Studie ermittelt MCube Consulting für das Saarland eine jährliche Wertschöpfung von rund 870 Millionen Euro.
With MehrwertRad, MCube Consulting is developing a practical approach to systematically measure the economic benefits of cycling and the bicycle industry.
What will mobility actually look like in 2035? At the MCube Speaker Series at the SAP Lab Garching, we discussed this with experts from academia, business, and the public sector.
This year's cluster meeting was not only about the MCube innovation projects, but above all about the five-year anniversary of the cluster. MCube is celebrating 5 years and with it 5 years of mobility innovations.
rescuePY shows how simulations can be used not only for traffic planning but also for critical areas of urban mobility.
While debates today are often characterized by hardened fronts, we tried a different format: the House of Commons debate.
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?
