NUMIC - New Urban Mobility Awareness
The aim of the joint research project NUMIC New Urban Mobility Awareness in Chemnitz is to set up and implement a new awareness of mobility in urban space through scientific analyzes, urban design concepts and new participative communication approaches. The implementation takes place in a municipal living lab which is created in a model district in Chemnitz. Based on comprehensive mobility analysis, mobility and recreation nodes and an alternative route system it wants to lead away from the motorised transportation. Implemented as a demonstrator project NUMIC pursues a participatory approach to sustainable development, mobility awareness and behavior change. By integrating the population into analysis, planning and implementation processes, a user-driven re-thinking is established.
The user integration takes place via a crowdsourced innovation platform as well as a comprehensive communication concept aiming to build a community of citizens. The model projects as well as community-initiated activities and events will result in alternative forms of mobility, an experiential and self-designed experiment.
Accompanying the project, an innovation fund will be established, creating thus a high degree of acceptance and identification. Also, the real needs and requirements of users will be thus maintained in the development of individual, targeted mobility measures.
