Because of the 9-euro ticket, many people in the Munich region have been using public transport instead of their own car. This is shown by a recent TUM study. "Many have integrated public transport into their everyday lives."Munich study on the 9-euro ticket: how many car drivers have switched
For two weeks now, you can make yourself comfortable in Kolumbusstraße. Raised beds and trees provide more greenery in the street and some residents even plant their own beds. The campaign is part of a research project in Munich that aims to create more open space for pedestrians and cyclists in summer, but less for cars. The campaign is even to be extended: Kolumbusstrasse is to become Kolumbuswiese. Deckchairs and picnic blankets can then be unpacked.

Where there used to be parking lots and asphalt, there are now raised beds, children running through the sprinklers and digging in the sand. Nevertheless, the new, car-free spaces in Kolumbusstraße in Munich are dividing the neighborhood.

Parking spaces are being rededicated, sections of road are being traffic-calmed and stations for rental bikes are being set up: In a pilot project, the city and TU Munich want to test how car traffic can be reduced in Au and Obergiesing.

Where cars used to park, children are now happily digging in the sand. Munich's Kolumbusstraße has been greened and closed to traffic. The joy in the Au is great - but so is the anger.

The most peaceful coexistence possible between vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and children at play: that's what you want in so-called traffic-calmed areas. Sometimes this works better, sometimes worse.
Develop the next mobility innovations for metropolitan regions. Together. Possible. To make it happen.
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.
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 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.
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?
