In the project, alternative urban scenarios for an inner-city neighborhood in Stuttgart will be presented using performative, participatory tools. These are based on a different mobility behavior and resulting changes for the urban space. The scenarios will be evaluated comparatively with regard to their experienceability. The background to this study is the increasing volume of traffic in the Stuttgart metropolitan region. The high proportion of motorized individual traffic (MIV) is associated with negative effects on the quality of urban space and quality of life.

• In the ‘Urban space in motion’ sub-project, future scenarios were developed that combined digital and physical interventions in public spaces. The use of augmented and virtual reality made it possible to visualise various mobility and usage concepts and evaluate their impact on the urban environment. Particular attention was paid to reducing car traffic in order to improve the quality of life in urban areas.
• The sub-project ‘Noise protection for façades in inner-city areas’ analysed the external noise situation in selected urban districts. Long-term measurements and calculations of interior noise levels were used to develop measures to improve noise protection. Psychoacoustic effects were also taken into account in order to do justice to the subjective noise perceptions of the residents.
