Since 2019, our EXPERI research group in Berlin has been scientifically monitoring and analyzing the “transport transition as a social-ecological real-life experiment”. The focus of our interdisciplinary group is on the social and spatial aspects of urban mobility. In our collection of ideas “Impulses for the urban transport transition”, you will find brief insights into key research findings and a total of 18 proposals for the future design of transformation processes in the area of mobility and transport.
The Expert Advisory Council for Climate Protection in Mobility advised the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport during the 20th legislative period. At the meeting on 14 June, an intensive exchange took place with Federal Minister Dr. Wissing, which resulted in suggestions for further work on climate protection in transport, particularly with regard to acceptance, behaviour, communication and quality of life.
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.
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.
Organised by the EXPERI research group, the symposium “The Transport Transition: Rethinking Urban Space" opened on 6 October 2022 at Place of Participation – a pop-up venue on Kurfürstendamm – attended by almost 100 guests and the EXPERI team.
Im August 2021 wurde ein Teil der Barbarossastraße in Berlin Schöneberg komplett autofrei. Konkret bedeutet das, dass es in diesem Zeitraum keinen motorisierten Verkehr im Bereich zwischen der Goltzstraße und der Kyffhäuser Straße gab und die Straße somit zum Zufußgehen, Radfahren, Spielen und zum Aufenthalt genutzt werden konnte. Das DLR Institut für Verkehrsforschung hat die Sommerstraße Barbarossa wissenschaftlich begleitet und vor sowie nach dem Projekt in Kooperation mit dem Projekt Kiezerfahren eine Haushaltsbefragung durchgeführt. Insgesamt wurden 1700 Haushalte in den angrenzenden Wohnblöcken gebeten, schriftlich oder online an den Befragungen teilzunehmen. Insgesamt haben 193 Personen an der Befragung teilgenommen (eine Rücklaufquote von 11 %).
Being a woman is not a qualification. Just as being a man is not. But the lack of diversity in transport planning hinders the implementation of inclusive mobility. And the lack of accessibility in mobility infrastructure affects women more.
Farewell to the "car-friendly city": the SPD, the Grüne and the Linke want to deconstruct the A104 and A103 highways. Especially with the A103, this might not be so easy. There are also conflicts at the political level.
