Living Labs
| Name | City | Focus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brussels
Located in the northern outskirts of the Brussels-Capital Region, focusing on the Neder-over-Heembeek and Haren districts to improve mobility for underserved populations. |
Brussels, Belgium | Reducing car dependency in peripheral neighborhoods through station-based car-sharing, peer-to-peer sharing, and volunteer transport. | |
| Budapest
Located in an outer district of Budapest, the lab tests co-created mobility services to contribute to accessible and inclusive 15-minute city neighborhoods. |
Budapest, Hungary | Promoting sustainable transportation in Rákosmente (District 17) to reduce car reliance through shared mobility and micro-mobility stations. | |
| Munich
A living lab situated in the Munich metropolitan region focusing on the peripheral cities of Geretsried and Wolfratshausen to test 15-minute city concepts. |
Geretsried, Germany | Reducing car dependency and enhancing accessibility to amenities in urban outskirts for disadvantaged groups (older residents and migrants). | |
| Paris
A living lab focused on urban outskirts, testing station design as mobility hubs and the governance of transport planning in disadvantaged areas. |
Paris, France | Improving feeder services and active transport access to tram stations in suburban areas. | |
| Utrecht
A living lab focused on the Overvecht district (a post-WWII area with ~35,000 residents) to address low bike ownership and safety concerns. Interventions include subsidizing shared e-cargo bikes, providing 50% discounts on shared e-bikes in social housing neighborhoods, and developing solar charging station prototypes. |
Utrecht, Netherlands | Exploring the role of shared e-bikes and shared e-cargo bikes in promoting accessible and sustainable mobility in urban outskirts and low-income areas. | |
| Vienna
The living lab is centered on the "Wiener Flur" case study area in the 23rd district (Liesing). It aims to assess how mobility and activity hubs influence behavior and create sustainable community spaces in urban outskirts. |
Vienna, Austria | Focuses on mobility hubs, flexible pop-up activity hubs, and demand-responsive services to improve accessibility and activate vacant spaces through community involvement. |
