2nd Munich Mobility Congress hands over the baton to IAA Mobility: Accelerating the change

The 2nd Munich Mobility Congress concluded with a handover from Mobility Officer Georg Dunkel to Tobias Gröber from Messe München, co-organizer of IAA Mobility. Over 850 visitors attended the lectures, workshops, and discussions during the congress days at the Old Town Hall and the Transport Center of the German Museum. The livestreams of the events have been accessed over 550 times so far.

In 2021, the Mobility Department organized the Munich Mobility Congress for the first time. A highlight of the inaugural edition was the presentation of the Mobility Strategy 2035. This roadmap for implementing the traffic turnaround in Munich was also a focal point at this year's congress – in the form of an initial assessment. Additionally, all forms of sustainable urban mobility, particularly public transport, were in focus. The motto of the 2nd Munich Mobility Congress "Experience and Shape Mobility" was especially fulfilled through the presentation of ideas and actions by the nine citizen projects funded by the city to improve the quality of stay in public spaces.

Shaping the Mobility Transition in the Neighborhood

At the Citizen's Day on Sunday, the individual initiatives introduced themselves, followed by the opportunity to visit their actions throughout the city. At Schneckenplatz in front of the Transport Center, numerous interested parties informed themselves about the offerings of mobility stakeholders and tried out various means of transport. Additionally, Mobility Officer Georg Dunkel provided an initial interim assessment of the mobility transition in Munich and discussed the status quo with various experts.

"The City Council has adopted the Mobility Strategy 2035 as a roadmap for the traffic turnaround in Munich, which we are now implementing step by step. But this topic concerns everyone. Therefore, I am very pleased that in recent days, not only industry representatives but also so many citizens have taken the opportunity to inform themselves and engage with us in discussions about suitable solutions for Munich," explained Mobility Officer Georg Dunkel.
