In order to be able to achieve the targeted and necessary climate goals by 2030, increased efforts for a change in transport and mobility are urgently needed. In the Austrian Mobility Master Plan 2030, the redistribution and redesign of public space, among other things, are central building blocks.

The research project trans|formator:in deals with the acceleration and process optimisation of the redesign of public spaces - with the aim of strengthening active forms of mobility and improving the quality of stay. The aim is to create future-oriented spaces with a high level of acceptance and, at the same time, to lay the foundation for behavioural change towards sustainable mobility.

The goals are ambitious: New methods are to be developed and tested in seven pilot municipalities by August 2026. In addition to the entire setup for a successful transformation of public spaces (traffic calming, quality of stay and social meeting points), participation and learning processes as well as communication and social marketing are given special importance in this flagship project of "the mobility of the future".

The seven pilot municipalities (Vienna, Graz, Salzburg, St. Pölten, Langenlois, Deutschkreutz, St. Gallenkirch) are supported by a broad field of ambitious experts from science and practice from 23 consortium partners in order to gain far-reaching, innovative insights and to pass these on to interested municipalities (follower municipalities).
