Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This thesis aims to address the identified challenges in urban areas and integrate emerging practices of new mobility trends to deliver recommendations for future mobility solutions.

• Rethinking transit stations in a neighborhood to be much more than just a bus stop or train stop but also to include services and activities which make them more livable place.
• Shifting people from car-oriented transportation to environment-friendly modes by application of urban design aspects.
• Developing a framework in the form of a catalogue to form the basis of sustainable neighborhood mobility required for future needs.
• Delivering recommendations for shared mobility trends from traditional methods and shifting the approach to transit and land-use development under different criteria.
• Creating a study of emerging mobility trends in Europe, especially Germany, while overcoming basic global challenges and developing a model adaptable under various conditions.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

This thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of neighborhood mobility trends, exploring the concept of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) at a micro-scale level. The thesis focuses on the integration of multimodal and intermodal mobility offers in urban neighborhoods, highlighting key aspects of infrastructure, services, and public transit.

• Chapter 1 introduces the study context, outlining the challenges posed by urban sprawl and car dependency, and setting forth the thesis' goals and objectives.
• Chapter 2 explores the concept of TOD, delving into its implementation at various scales and highlighting the importance of neighborhood level mobility. It also examines different types of mobility, including multimodal and intermodal approaches, and discusses key elements of new mobility, such as car sharing, bike sharing, and other miscellaneous options.
• Chapter 3 focuses on neighborhood mobility trends, exploring the concept of mobility stations or hubs and their tasks and benefits. It then analyzes two case studies: Seestadt Aspern, Vienna, a new development neighborhood, and Switchh, Hamburg, a mobility hub integrated into an existing urban environment. The chapter concludes with findings from expert interviews on mobility concept development.
• Chapter 4 presents a catalogue of key aspects for successful neighborhood mobility, categorized into Infrastructure, Services, and Public Transit. These aspects are then applied to three different design scenarios, demonstrating how a mobility hub can be integrated into various urban contexts.
