Neue Wege in der Stadt

Wilde, Mathias / Riedelbauch, Lukas

This study explores the transformative potential of shared micro-mobility in urban environments, providing insight into evolving urban transport patterns and highlighting the impact of diverse mobility services on sustainable mobility. The research focuses on the substitution effects of these new mobility services and identifies specific usage patterns. The aim is to understand how new services influence mobility choices and become embedded in daily life, potentially identifying different types of users. This approach provides insights for the planning of urban transport systems that promote sustainable mobility. Empirical findings from the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region form the basis of this study. A qualitative and subsequent quantitative survey identified four main user types: (1) cyclists, (2) public transport power users, (3) flexible and multimodal transport users, and (4) car drivers. A mixed-methods approach is used to identify these types and their characteristics, and to answer the question of whether shared mobility options can establish new patterns of use and promote more sustainable forms of mobility. Finally, the study highlights the need for targeted strategies to make sustainable forms of mobility more attractive and accessible. Shared micro-mobility can serve as an important component of urban transport, potentially shifting users away from less sustainable modes such as the private car.
