Sozial-ökologische Mobilitäts- und Transformationsforschung in Deutschland. Eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme der Forschungsagenda Nachhaltige Urbane Mobilität

ILS researcher Thomas Klinger, together with other colleagues (Jutta Deffner, Martin Lanzendorf, Katharina Manderscheid, Henrike Rau, Lisa Ruhrort), published an article in the GAIA – Ecological Perspectives for Science and Society. Since 2017, the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (then BMBF, since 2025 BMFTR) has been supporting transformative transdisciplinary research with its Sustainable Urban Mobility research agenda. The agenda aims to advance systemic mobility research for the social-ecological transformation of the mobility system. This article systematically reviews projects funded between 2017 and 2025. The results show that the agenda has successfully supported many new projects that meet the goals of the research agenda. However, some research areas remain that have not yet been adequately addressed, while new challenges have also emerged over the past ten years. Opportunities to transfer new practices to other locations and institutions, and to scale them up, have yet to be realized. 👉 https://doi.org/10.14512/gaia.35.S1.12.
