Want to know what's happening in the MOSAIQ project?
Come along and chat with the project team over a cup of hot punch and find out about the current status of the project and how it will continue next year.
From 3:30 pm to 4:30 p.m. you can meet us on Tuesday, 16.12.2025, at the dialog point Hohenzollernplatz.
The MCube MOSAIQ innovation project consists of various phases.
In this phase, you can get to know the MCube MOSAIQ innovation project. What is it about? What do we want to achieve (together)? And, of course, we want to get to know you and your neighborhood even better. Let us know what is important to you - whether at the information event or on site in a neighborhood meeting. Our team will be out and about a lot to talk to you.
The Ideas Forum is about jointly developing ideas for tangible, temporary projects for public (street) space. Individual projects will be implemented over a period of several months to a year from summer 2026. The ideas submitted can range from small (e.g. a seating area or raised bed) to large (design of a neighborhood square or temporary redesign of a street). Several small and medium-sized projects as well as one large project can be implemented - depending on the type of ideas submitted. The exact rules and conditions of participation were communicated at the start of the ideas forum.
This is how the ideas forum went:
Thank you for your creative ideas and your active participation!
The winning projects from the ideas forum will be exhibited and extensively examined again before being implemented for a limited period of time. For example, the question is how the places in the neighborhood that have been redesigned based on your projects should be used.
The projects are finally reviewed and prepared for implementation.
Selected projects will now be implemented for several months to a year - depending on the ideas developed - and can be experienced in your neighborhood. A festival will be held to mark the start of the projects. Everyone is cordially invited to visit the new locations and try out different uses. We also want to know: Which of the implemented projects do you particularly like? Where could something be adapted?
This phase is primarily concerned with evaluating the feedback from participation and the research results. Recommendations for the long-term design of the project neighborhoods can be derived from this. Which implemented ideas were successful? Where are other solutions needed? We will share the results with you. The recommendations can also be transferred to other neighborhoods.
Throughout the MCube MOSAIQ innovation project, we collect data in order to find answers to how urban mobility and public space in the neighborhood can be designed in such a way that the growing challenges in the city can be met. We also collect and evaluate data on the measures implemented. You can actively support us in collecting data, for example by taking part in our surveys, participating in the climate walk or sharing your mobility behavior with us. You can find detailed information on the research questions and the individual research formats at here.
Participation formats
Since September 2025, two dialog points have been set up in both project districts as central contact points in public spaces. Here you can find out about dates, plans, participation opportunities etc., talk to the project team and give feedback.
Locations of the dialog points in Moosach:

Since the information event in July 2025, the project team has been on site regularly to find out: How do you get around? How do you spend time in your neighborhood? What do you want your neighborhood to look like in the future? Which places do you already like and why? Where would you like to change something?
You can find the latest dates for the neighborhood talks at mcube-cluster.de/mosaiq in the „Events“ section.

Research formats
We want to know how you experience your neighborhood - before, during and after the implementation of the temporary projects. That is why we are conducting surveys at all three points in time. For example, we want to know about the climate in the neighborhood, the quality of your stay, how you get around and how you feel about neighborhood cohesion.
All households in the project area will receive a letter in good time with information on how to take part. Anyone aged 18 and over can take part - simply online or at our on-site appointments. We will also be happy to help you fill out the survey there.
With the help of an app, we accompany a small group of participants from the neighborhood as they search for a parking space in their everyday lives - before and during the measures in the neighborhood. We are particularly interested in: How long does it take to find a parking space? How often do people search? And does the search for a parking space change as a result of the new measures? The app helps us to systematically record parking search traffic and answer these questions better - anonymously and in compliance with data protection regulations, of course. Participation is voluntary. All residents in the neighborhood with a car can take part, especially those without their own parking space. Recruitment takes place via our participation formats and communication channels.
The aim of the simulator study is to find out how intersections can be designed so that cyclists are safer on the road. To this end, tests are being carried out in a driving simulator at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich, i.e. in a virtual road space. This involves testing how different variants of intersections influence the behavior of cyclists and motorists. In addition to actual safety, we are also investigating how safe cyclists feel and whether they perceive the distribution of space between cars and bicycles to be fair. The results should help to develop concrete recommendations for safe and fair traffic planning.
During the climate walks, we walk through the neighborhood together and use sensors to collect microclimatic data, for example on air temperature and wind speed. At the same time, we are interested in how you subjectively feel there - whether it is pleasant or rather too hot. This gives us a better picture of how the climate is perceived in different places in the neighborhood.
In the photo stories, children and young people take photos to record what they like about their neighborhood and what bothers them. We then talk together about their impressions, wishes and ideas for their neighborhood. In this way, they themselves become researchers of their surroundings. We also use photo stories during the temporary measures to find out together with the children and young people how they experience the changes - what works well and what they think is still missing.
We also use other formats to investigate changes in the neighborhood and beyond. For example, we have noise measurements, a traffic survey and a microclimatic simulation carried out. We also observe how the public spaces are used: Who spends time where and how does this change over the course of the project? In addition, we talk to various stakeholder groups in interviews and group discussions (so-called focus groups) to gain an even better understanding of their experiences and perspectives.

From September 17 to December 4 (Schwabing-West) and December 11, 2025 (Moosach), the MOSAIQ Ideas Forum took place in the project districts in Moosach and Schwabing-West. Citizens developed project outlines from the ideas submitted with the support of experts. A jury has now selected the most promising proposals. These could be implemented in the project districts in Moosach and Schwabing-West from summer 2026 for a limited period of time. Among other things, this is dependent on successful approval and the consent of the local district committee.
The following shortlists summarize the project proposals per project quarter, which will now be processed by the project team for further planning and approval:
Shortlist for the neighborhood in Moosach
Widening the sidewalks with furniture and greenery will create a meeting place for community activities at the intersection and make it safer to cross.
Location: intersection of Nanga-Parbat-Straße / Hugo-Troendle-Straße / Karlingerstraße
Existing footpaths are linked up and made safer thanks to clear crossing options with the help of parklets.
Location: Footpaths in the housing estate
By installing combinable planting, seating and shading elements, places are created in the neighborhood that make it pleasant to spend time outdoors even in hot weather.
Location: integrated into the other measures
Shortlist for the neighborhood in Schwabing-West
The area on and around the green space will be transformed into an inclusive meeting oasis with temporary furniture, plant elements and community activities.
Location: Triangular square Apian- / Clemensstraße
Temporary trees, parklets and new crossing points will make Fallmerayerstrasse greener and safer for the neighborhood.
Location: Fallmerayerstrasse between Herzogstrasse and Hohenzollernstrasse
Improving visibility for pedestrians and cyclists will make crossing Hohenzollernstraße safer.
Location: intersection Hohenzollern- / Fallmerayer- / Isabellastraße
From idea to decision:
Everyone who lives, works or is active in the project quarter was invited to submit their ideas for the project area in Moosach and Schwabing-West from mid-September to mid-October 2025 via the MOSAIQ letterbox or digitally. The project team was also on site at the dialog points on a weekly basis. 46 idea profiles were submitted in Moosach. Of these, 34 met the specified requirements. In Schwabing-West, 90 idea profiles were submitted. Of these, 78 met the specified requirements.
The project forge took place in Moosach on October 25, 2025 and in Schwabing-West on November 15. The participating citizens selected what they considered to be the best ideas and developed them into project outlines with the support of experts. This resulted in 6 concrete project proposals per neighborhood. These were then submitted to the jury for pre-selection.
On December 4 (Schwabing-West) and December 11, 2025 (Moosach), the jury assessed which project outlines it recommended for further development and time-limited implementation. The jury was made up of members of the district committee, local senior citizens' representatives and experts from the administration in the areas of urban planning, urban climate and mobility.
The project team is now reviewing the recommended project proposals in detail and developing them further. Whether they can be implemented depends, among other things, on whether they are approvable.
In addition, the approval of the district committee is also required. The goal is to implement the recommended proposals from summer 2026 for several months up to about a year.
Starting in spring 2026, the neighborhood will continue with various hands-on activities and discussion formats. And there will be a more detailed exhibition on the ideas forum.

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?
