AQT

Car-Reduced Quarters for a More Livable City

General description:

The lighthouse project Car-Reduced Quarters for a More Livable City (AQT) is one of 14 sub-projects in the first implementation phase (2021-2024) of MCube - Munich Cluster for the Future of Mobility in Metropolitan Regions. AQT is developing and testing concepts for public urban space and mobility that are intended to generate greater acceptance and use of multimodal transport options, significantly reduce individual car ownership and use, and lead to an increased attractiveness of public space. In doing so, AQT places a special focus on interdisciplinary research work and transformative processes.

Objectives:

  • Comprehensive system analysis of actors and networks, spatial and cluster structures as well as decision-making and planning processes
  • Development of scenarios and specific measures for multimodal mobility and redesigned public street space in co-creative processes
  • Macroscopic and microscopic simulation of the impacts of the proposed measures on mobility behavior and subsequent on-site testing in selected living labs in Munich. Here, changes in the built environment and the provision of new mobility services (e.g. mobility hub networks) will also be taken into account.
