Current results and interim results from MCube MOSAIQ
In MOSAIQ, we collect data using a mix of methods through surveys, counts, and by observing participation around implementation, and then analyze it. In addition to classic research methods, we also use participatory formats where everyone can contribute.
We carefully evaluate the data collected in this way using scientific methods and gain insights from it. We share the results with you. We also bring important findings directly back to the neighborhood, for example at exhibitions or discussions where we mirror the results with the personal impressions of local people. Other evaluations require more time.
On this page, you will always find insights into results and current interim statuses from MCube MOSAIQ.
We present selected insights from MCube MOSAIQ as small neighborhood exhibitions at our dialogue points within the neighborhoods. In the area of Events Let us know when a new exhibition starts!
In the series „Mobility and Urban Climate,“ research and teaching results related to MCube MOSAIQ are presented to the interested (professional) public. Here are the latest issues:

The climate walks took place in August 2025 on two particularly hot summer days. In the early afternoon (2:00 PM), local residents, together with Climateflux, investigated the local urban climate in both neighborhoods. Temperatures can usually be measured at their highest in the early afternoon. For this purpose, measurements were carried out using a portable weather station. Among other things, air temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and wind speed were measured. The UTCI value (Universal Thermal Climate Index) in degrees Celsius (°C) can be calculated from these measured values. As an equivalent temperature, the UTCI indicates how the human body perceives thermal conditions. In addition, surveys documented the effects of the specific climatic conditions on the participants. To understand the daily progression of thermal stress, measurements took place at two other times of day: in the morning (10:00 AM) and in the evening (10:00 PM). In the morning, the city heats up. In the evening, it becomes apparent how strongly and where the city cools down again.
The individual stops of the walks and measurements are marked on the map. For each point, the measured UTCI value (at three times of day) and brief participant assessments of thermal comfort (in the early afternoon) can be displayed. A detailed report on the background of the research format and the measurements can be found in the series „Mobility and Urban Climate,“ No. 2.
The photo stories took place in Moosach in July 2025 with 18 students from a 5th-grade class at the Moosach middle school, and in Schwabing-West in October 2025 with 21 students from a 3rd-grade class at the Farinelli elementary school. Over the course of two mornings each, the children became researchers of their own surroundings. They explored the neighborhood and captured with photos and videos what they like and what bothers them. Afterwards, together with scientists from the Technical University of Munich, they discussed their needs and wishes. In the group discussions, the children sorted their photos by commonalities – such as the desire for more cleanliness. These conversations were recorded and transcribed by the scientists from the Technical University of Munich, and the analysis yielded six main themes.
On the map, you can see the children's photos and comments at their discovery locations, sorted by the main themes found. You can find a more detailed report on the background of the research format and the results in the series „Mobilität und Stadtklima“ No. 5.

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?
