The MobInFact project analyses the evidence for reducing car dependency in the 15-minute city context. However, the quantitative effects of the various factors influencing mobility at the neighbourhood level have not yet been adequately described. Therefore, the overall objective of the project is to develop an easy-to-use toolbox that enables planners and decision-makers to estimate and compare the impact of different urban and transport planning measures on relevant key mobility indicators such as modal split, travel distance and quality of life in neighbourhoods, based on readily available data on spatial and socio-demographic characteristics.

The toolbox provides a comprehensive understanding of the impact of urban and transport planning policies on mobility behaviour. It also provides valuable insights into urban quality of life, climate adaptation and greenhouse gas emissions, providing a sound basis for participatory planning and informed decision-making.

The scientific contributions of this project include the development of methods to operationalise the spatial and socio-demographic characteristics of a neighbourhood in '15-minute city indicators' and to calculate the modal split and travel distances with less effort than a traditional transport model.

In addition to the scientific objectives, the project is working closely with a number of partner cities (in Austria and abroad) to test the tools in practice.
