As part of the ReMGo project, we have developed a concept for designing mobility innovations in a responsible and human-centered way. We want to support our colleagues at the Technical University in not only looking at the technological side, but also considering issues of justice, inclusion and sustainability. We are also interested in the political and legal environment of mobility innovation. In this context, we were responsible for the format of the MCube innovation recommendations.
In our research approach, we mainly conducted interviews with experts, citizens and other people involved in mobility innovation in a broader sense. We also analyzed documents, organized workshops and wrote recommendations for policy-makers. We did this on the one hand with an inward view of the MCube Cluster and on the other hand with an outward view of the international context.
Technology and innovation influence society in many different ways. In the area of mobility, for example, means of transportation can determine which schools are accessible or how independently people can move around. On a global level, mobility also plays a central role in the fight against climate change and for the future of coming generations. Our research goal was to better understand the social and legal implications of mobility innovations and to ensure that those who are affected by these innovations - be it through new roads, apps or means of transportation - are adequately considered.

Want to shape the future of mobility with us?
Then please get in touch with us.
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?
