Mobility equity in metropolitan regions

Electromobility, sharing services and autonomous driving are increasingly shaping mobility planning and everyday life in cities. But they also raise key questions of justice:

  • Who can afford which forms of mobility?

  • For whom are certain services difficult to access - spatially, physically, emotionally, socially or culturally?

  • How are vulnerability, marginalization and mobility planning connected?

These questions were at the heart of the MGeM - Mobility Justice in the Munich Metropolitan Region project.
After all, a turnaround in mobility must not further exacerbate existing social and spatial inequalities.

We wanted to make mobility injustices visible, understand them better - and actively work towards fairer mobility.
To this end, we not only carried out research, but also developed concrete solutions together with practice partners.

The approach

In these project modules, we worked collaboratively and transdisciplinarily (in cooperation with actors from the field, with the aim of gaining concrete knowledge for a just mobility transition) on the questions listed above: 

  • Where are the mobility inequalities in Munich?
  • How can we visualize them?
  • Which areas are particularly critical?

The Mobility (In)Equity Atlas aims to answer these questions in order to inform policy makers, those interested in mobility and the general public.
help to understand how mobility resources and the negative effects of mobility are distributed among different social groups in Munich.

Who is behind it?

A motivated consortium of experienced partners from science, business, the public sector and society is working together in an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary manner on the pressing issues of our time.
