About this Item

Neuware - 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 ; Klimawandel und Ressourcenverknappung, aber auch der stetig steigende Verkehrsaufwand machen es unabdingbar, neue Lösungen für eine umweltschonende und menschenfreundliche Mobilität zu entwickeln. Der flüssige und sichere Übergang von einer Mobilitätsform zur anderen, die Nutzung unterschiedlicher individueller, geteilter oder öffentlicher Verkehrsmittel auf einem Weg, muss künftig komfortabel und einfach möglich sein, um Menschen ein positives Mobilitätserlebnis zu vermitteln. Bereits heute gibt es Konzepte und realisierte Infrastrukturprojekte, die in beispielhafter Weise die Zukunft einer nachhaltigen und vernetzten Mobilit.t greifbar machen. Im Fokus dieses Bands steht die Bedeutung der Gestaltung: Über 60 wegweisende Projekte aus den Bereichen Design, Architektur und Städtebau werden anhand von Fotos, Planzeichnungen und Kurztexten vorgestellt. Mit diesem internationalen Überblick zeigt Mobility Design nicht nur den aktuellen Stand nachhaltiger Mobilitätssysteme auf, sondern widmet sich der Mobilität als einer der wichtigsten Gestaltungsaufgaben der Zukunft. Mit Projekttexten von Markus Hieke, Christian Holl und Martina Metzner.
