In many places, road traffic is characterized by traffic jams and noise. The major consumption of resources by today's transport systems, such as fossil fuels, is to be reduced by the transport transition and the general quality of life improved. The EXPERI project investigated how the transport transition can succeed in cities.
Is it a good idea for researchers to collaborate with stakeholders from other areas of society? A discussion about the opportunities and risks of transdisciplinary research between the Berlin-based mobility researcher Sophia Becker and Henrike Hartmann, Deputy Secretary General of the Volkswagen Foundation.
Before the international meeting in Leipzig, the question arises: What needs to be done to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions? And how much time is left? Three experts assess this.
Who is responsible for the change and what specifically needs to be achieved? The calls for action from scientists and activists are growing louder - on an individual, social and political level. Meanwhile, their position is increasingly under threat, with persecution and headwinds turning the struggles into a battlefield.
Every week, Klimazeit provides background reports, discusses the latest climate research findings with experts, explains everything worth knowing about the climate in elaborate graphic animations, scrutinizes political decisions and shows constructive examples of what consumers, companies and local authorities can do to save the climate.
The first episode takes a look at temporary measures in urban and traffic planning with guests Dr Julia Jarass from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Katharina Götting (RIFS Potsdam). Julia Jarass presents the results of the real-world laboratory "Autofreie Sommerstraße Barbarossa", which was carried out in Berlin-Schöneberg in 2021. Katharina Götting reports on the effects of pop-up bike infrastructure, which she studied with her team in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
What do reactive border closures and the de-nationalization of undocumented populations around the world have to do with the climate crisis-mobility nexus?
Real-world experiments have become popular in urban planning and mobility research. But what contribution can they make to a sustainable and equitable transport transition? A new study shows where real-world labs fall short.
The online seminars of the project "Straßen für Menschen" (Streets for People) start the next round, this time around the topic of traffic experiments. On five dates in November and December, there will be inputs, discussions and best practice examples on a wide variety of topics from the field of traffic experiments.
