Climate change and increasing resource scarcity together with rising traffic volumes force us to develop new environmentally friendly and people-oriented mobility options. In order to provide a positive mobility experience, the transition from one mobility mode to another must be managed smoothly and safely, and individual, shared or public means of transportation must become convenient and easy. Conceptual as well as existing infrastructure projects provide models for future sustainable and connected mobility. This volume focuses on the importance of design, introducing through photos, plans, and brief texts over 60 groundbreaking projects from the disciplines of product design, architecture, and urban planning. With this international overview Mobility Design portrays the current situation of sustainable mobility systems, while identifying mobility as one of the most important design tasks of the future. With project texts by Markus Hieke, Christian Holl, and Martina Metzner

Climate change, increasing resource scarcity, and rising traffic volumes are forcing us to develop new environmentally friendly and people-oriented mobility options. With the expansion of digital information systems, we will soon be able to reconfigure different modes of transport to suit our needs. These developments represent a significant challenge for designing a wide range of different mobility spaces. While Volume 1 of this series focused on practical aspects, Volume 2 collects research methods and findings from the fields of design, architecture, urban planning, geography, social sciences, traffic planning, psychology, and communication technologies. The book’s consideration of the possibilities and prospects of usercentred mobility design offers an important contribution to the ongoing debate concerning the mobility revolution.

Klimawandel und Ressourcenverknappung, aber auch der stetig steigende Verkehrsaufwand machen es unabdingbar, neue Lösungen für eine umweltschonende und menschenfreundliche Mobilität zu entwickeln. Mit dem Ausbau digitaler Informationssysteme werden wir zukünftig unterschiedliche Verkehrsträger entsprechend unseren Bedürfnissen leicht kombinieren können. Diese Entwicklungen sind für die Gestaltung verschiedener Mobilitätsräume eine große Herausforderung. Lag der Schwerpunkt in Band 1 auf der Praxis, versammelt Band 2 nun Forschungen aus den Bereichen Design, Architektur, Stadtplanung, Geografie, Sozialwissenschaft, Verkehrsplanung, Psychologie und Kommunikationstechnologie. Die aktuelle Diskussion über die Verkehrswende wird um die Perspektive des nutzer*innenzentrierten Mobilitätsdesigns erweitert.
