From September 17 to December 11, 2025, the MOSAIQ Ideas Forum took place in the project quarter in Moosach. During this event, citizens, with the support of expert professionals, developed project outlines from the submitted ideas. Now, a jury has selected the most promising proposals. These are to be implemented on a temporary basis starting in the summer of 2026. This is dependent, among other things, 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:
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

Latest news
Starting in summer 2026, temporary spaces with more greenery, improved quality of stay, and enhanced traffic safety will be created in the project neighborhoods. We want to understand how these changes will affect daily life. To do this, we are looking for residents starting immediately who will track their daily commutes using an app before and during the implementation of these measures.

Since the beginning of April, our simulator study has been in full swing. In the bicycle and car simulators, we are researching how the built traffic environment is evaluated and how it should be designed. The focus is on safe intersections for cyclists.
On Helmut-Fischer-Platz In spring 2026, planters with trees will be installed, which will be located at various spots in the neighborhood as part of the MCube MOSAIQ project. We are looking for committed neighborhood patrons to care for the planters.
On Hohenzollernplatz In spring 2026, a game box will be set up where you can borrow game equipment. We are also looking for committed patrons from the neighborhood to help with the maintenance of the game box, the supervision of game events, and similar activities.

In the northwest of Munich is Moosach, one of the city's oldest locations.
The cultural and historical center of Moosach is located around St.-Martins-Platz. Events for local residents, such as the May festival or the Christmas market, take place here every year. Today, the district is characterized by its diversity.
In the eastern part of Moosach, there is a large number of commercial areas as well as increasingly dense development, such as the Olympic Press City or housing estates from the interwar period. In the western part, where the project quarter is located, a diverse mix of detached, terraced and multi-family houses predominates.
The Westfriedhof cemetery and Amphionpark provide some cooling. Nevertheless, the city climate analysis by the City of Munich shows that the district is largely affected by high temperatures. The residential areas that are further away from the green spaces are particularly affected by the heat. More greenery in the form of tree planting along the major streets could significantly improve the quality of stay.
The streets within the district also offer little quality of stay, are primarily designed for car traffic and are characterized by stationary traffic. Although more journeys are made by car in Moosach than in other districts, over 50 percent are made by foot and bicycle. Moosach is already well connected to local public transport by the U-Bahn and S-Bahn and is supplemented by streetcar and bus lines. These services are already used for 22 percent of Moosach residents' journeys. Shared mobility in the district is also playing an increasingly important role. The first mobility point is currently being set up at Moosach railroad station, where various shared mobility services are bundled in one place. More are to follow soon.
The Department of Urban Planning and Building Regulations is currently working on the "Moosach: colorful-social-sustainable-future-oriented" Approaches for sustainable urban development in the Moosach redevelopment area. With our MCube MOSAIQ innovation project, we want to use synergies, develop new ideas with residents and jointly provide impetus for further urban redevelopment.
The project quarters (i.e., the areas in the Schwabing-West and Moosach districts where MOSAIQ is active) were selected by the project team based on technical criteria and in consideration of other projects in Munich.
The exact implementation locations in the neighborhood and their design have not yet been determined - because citizens and other local stakeholders will be actively involved in the development, design and implementation of measures through our innovation workshop, which will start in the fall.
One thing is certain: a trial temporary implementation of the ideas that will be jointly developed in 2025 will take place in public spaces from summer 2026.
The mobility of tomorrow affects us all. Whether sustainable transport planning, innovative technologies or smart solutions for urban and rural areas - the challenges are many and varied.
Do you have questions about the mobility of the future? Are you facing specific problems in your municipality, your company or your research? Our cluster brings together science, business, society and the public sector to find answers together.
In MOSAIQ, we are interested in the interface between mobility and urban climate. By urban climate, we mean both the climate in the meteorological sense and the climate among ourselves, i.e. how we live together in the city. Specifically, we are addressing this interface by testing and implementing measures in real-world laboratories in two Munich neighborhoods together with citizens that strengthen environmentally friendly forms of mobility, participation and social inclusion as well as quality of stay and climate resilience in the city - for a better quality of air, time and space, and for more social, land and climate justice

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.
