We researched urban mobility in neighborhoods against the backdrop of the growing challenges facing cities, such as continuous population growth and the climate crisis. To this end, street spaces in two Munich neighborhoods were temporarily redesigned for more sustainable mobility, encounters and greenery. Together with local residents, we tested what future neighborhoods in Munich could look like. The real-world laboratory was empirically supplemented by simulations and modeling as well as the co-creative development of future scenarios.
For us, the focus was on thinking about solutions together with citizens, testing them, discussing them and thus learning about change processes. We used various methods for this: surveys, dialog formats and workshops with residents, simulations to analyze traffic performance and traffic patterns, modeling of a mobility hub network. We developed transformative teaching formats and future scenarios in cooperation with the TrEx project and together with citizens.
The temporary implementation of solutions in the two Munich project areas "Südliche Au" and "Walchenseeplatz", the so-called real laboratories, were central to this. In the summer of 2023, new spaces were created for a limited period of time in both districts on public traffic areas, inviting people to linger, garden or play, for example. These redesigns were complemented by mobility points where alternatives to the private car were offered.
Munich is growing, there are more hot days in summer and extreme weather events are on the rise, and changes in mobility behavior require a redistribution of public space. There is no single solution to meet these challenges. We can only find out together how we can transform cities into climate-friendly and socially just cities. To do this, new approaches must be tested - in other words, new forms of cooperation between science, administration, business and society.
From the parking license areas within the central ring road, we selected two project areas that are typical for Munich - the Südliche Au with Kolumbusstraße and smaller neighbourhood squares and Landlstraße in Obergiesing at Walchenseeplatz. The mesoscopic modeling referred to Munich's urban space, the microscopic simulations to the two project areas.

Last weekend, on June 17, 2023, we launched our aqt project - car-reduced districts for a liveable city in the southern Au and Giesing districts. Together with around 800 residents and passers-by, we celebrated the launch all Saturday long and were accompanied by local musicians and artists.
What if fewer cars were normal in the city?
Review of the MCube research project aqt in Munich** *Autored neighborhoods for a livable city*
With this in mind, we invited our 14 projects to report on their goals, challenges and successes in a series of interviews.
As part of the MCube Speaker Series "Future of Mobility", researchers and industry leaders summarized the real-world laboratory in the southern Au.
On Saturday, the MCube aqt project team - car-reduced districts for a liveable city - was out and about in the Giesinger district again.
Last weekend, on June 17, 2023, we launched our aqt project - car-reduced districts for a liveable city in the southern Au and Giesing districts
As the public and experts agree, the reduction of private vehicles in inner-city neighborhoods offers great potential for upgrading and climate adaptation of urban public spaces.
Dear people interested in the project, do you live or work in the southern Au or at Walchenseeplatz? We would be delighted
