Intermodal Open Spaces. An analysis of inner-city mobility stations in the Rhine-Main region
Reducing private motorised traffic (PMT) and its resulting environmental pollution in favour of multi- and intermodal environmentally friendly mobility is essential for the development of sustainable cities. In addition to reducing PMT, intermodal mobility systems address individual mobility needs by integrating active modes such as walking and cycling, with public transport and sharing initiatives, such as car and bike sharing. This dissertation examines current planning strategies aimed at promoting intermodal mobility in urban areas, focusing on one approach presented as Intermodal Open Spaces (IOS). IOS are urban open spaces with embedded mobility nodes that support multi- and intermodality and are integrated into the urban context in such a way that an array of activities - beyond the provision of mobility services - can take place in them. Based on an empirical study in five selected cities in the Rhine-Main region, a typology of IOS is presented. The typology is based on the spatial interaction between the morphology of open spaces and the flow of active and motorised traffic. Structured by location and integration, spatial configuration and morphology, and activities and amenity quality, the case studies present spatially and programmatically disaggregated examples of IOS. Methods include desktop and on-site mapping of features identified through literature review, such as morphology, configuration, road network, visual integration, land use and others. This doctoral dissertation serves as a theoretical prelude to the definition of IOS and contributes to the debate on the spatial design and planning of multifunctional mobility stations in urban studies and transport planning.
