Wahlfach - Spaces of Mobility

Sabine Bauer

The decarbonisation of our mobility is an absolute necessity to combat the climate crisis. At the same time, the necessary transformation of our mobility space offers the opportunity to significantly improve the quality of life in our cities. Achieving these goals requires a reorganisation, functional change, fair share and attractive design of mobility spaces. Car-centred traffic spaces must be transformed into attractive spaces - for a change in use towards active and collective mobility and with high quality of stay. But how can we measure the quality of mobility space design? And how can designers influence the quality of mobility spaces and thus their use? We will address these questions in the elective course Spaces of Mobility. 
We will develop and discuss a catalogue of quality criteria for mobility spaces and then test these on the basis of an analysis task of existing strees in Graz. 
Doing this we will develop a toolbox that we can use to prepare our mobility spaces for the ecological challenges of our time and thus make a contribution to combating the climate crisis.
