From September 17 to December 4, the MOSAIQ Ideas Forum took place in the project quarter in Schwabing-West. During this time, citizens, with the support of specialist experts, developed project outlines from the submitted ideas. Now, a jury has selected the most promising proposals. These are to be implemented for a limited time starting in summer 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:
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

MOSAIQ thrives on the participation of everyone in the neighborhood. There are many different ways to get involved in various formats - every input is important. Together, we can develop solutions that meet as many different needs of local residents and stakeholders as possible.

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

Events
What should your neighborhood look like in the future? Last year, together with citizens, ideas for more quality of life, green spaces, and mobility for everyone were developed in the project neighborhood in Schwabing-West. Three selected concepts are to be implemented on a trial basis starting in July 2026, subject to approvals.
At this informational event, you will learn, what measures are planned, how the implementation proceeds and What actions and participation formats are taking place in the neighborhood
The event is aimed at all local residents, initiatives, and interested parties.

All people who live in the project neighborhood, work or often spend time there are invited, in our survey to participate. To the residents since October 6 Letters with link and personal participation codes for the online survey distributed. Have a look in your letterboxes to see if you already received a letter from the Technical University of Munich. The letter contains all further details about the survey. If you do not receive a letter from us in your mailbox, please contact us - participation is still possible.
Please bring the invitation with your participation code to the on-site appointment. We look forward to seeing you!
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.

Schwabing-West is the most densely populated district in Munich.
The project quarter, located in the city district, is characterized by closed-off blocks of buildings with many well-preserved old structures. In addition to residential use, there are a variety of social services, restaurants, and shops. The Elisabeth, Kurfürsten, and Hohenzollern Plazas are central gathering spots that were established during the Gründerzeit.
The district has been heavily densified over the past decades. As a result, open spaces have been lost and many have been sealed. As a result, the district now heats up more than other places in the summer months. Temperature measurements in recent years show that it can get particularly hot in Schwabing-West. It is therefore important to implement measures to adapt to the climate in order to increase the quality of outdoor life, especially in summer, or to allow people to cool down at night. The urban climate analysis of the City of Munich shows that the few existing green spaces only make a limited contribution to improving the climate in the residential areas, which are comparatively heavily burdened by heat in Schwabing-West (moderate to high bioclimatic burden).
There is also a need for action in the area of mobility. In many places, the densely populated district has streets that are primarily geared towards car traffic. At the same time, the choice of means of transportation shows that residents of the Schwabing West district walk and cycle a lot. Together, these two modes of transportation now account for 63 percent of all trips. In addition, the Schwabing-West district is very well connected to public transport thanks to two subway lines and several streetcar and bus lines. 21 percent of journeys are made by residents using public transport. As a result, the street space currently does not sufficiently meet the requirements of road safety for all road users, quality of life and climate adaptation.
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.

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?
