From cargo bike hub to Oktoberfest shuttle: Insights into the future of mobility in the state capital of Munich
Mobility is a crucial factor for quality of life in both urban and rural areas. Rising populations and growing online commerce, combined with increased inner-city delivery traffic, are just two examples of challenges that require innovative and sustainable mobility solutions.
The second edition of the "Meet the City" event series focuses on the central topic of urban mobility. Employees of the City of Munich's Mobility Department will provide insights into their work. Major challenges also require cooperation in mobility. Accordingly, partners of the Mobility Department will also showcase exciting projects from the city. A total of four initiatives invite all interested parties to learn more and get involved:
In addition to two last-mile projects and current traffic data presented by the Mobility Department, the Digital Hub Mobility will showcase the "Better Switching" project. We are addressing the following questions: Can existing mobility routines be disrupted, or are they already being disrupted? What alternative mobility options must be available? And how can commuters be motivated to adopt these alternatives?
MCube and EIT Urban Mobility will also be presenting at the event: two initiatives that promote collaboration between cities, industry, academia, research and innovation.
“Meet the City” is a series of events organized by the City of Munich at the Munich Urban Colab. It offers regular insights into innovative urban projects and promotes dialogue between the innovation community, business, startups, science, citizens, city administration, and everyone interested in sustainable and livable urban design.
After the content part, it is time to start talking, make contacts and discuss solutions for our livable city of the future.
