Be Mobile in Your Own Way
Safe, convenient, and healthy mobility: what exactly does this mean for people in Berlin? Everyone has different needs. What is important to you? Clean air? More space for wheelchairs or baby carriages? Fewer traffic jams?
In this research project, we work together to find out how mobility can become healthier and fairer. The study will run from April 2025 to March 2026 in Berlin and after that in Frankfurt (Oder).
Together for better visibility
Everyone should be able to move around the city easily and healthily, whether walking, using a wheelchair or walking aid, biking, taking public transport, or driving a car.
However, mobility research has a problem: the perspectives of people who are disadvantaged in their mobility have often been neglected. This concerns, for example, people with limitations, disabilities, or chronic illnesses. But also, families with small children, older people, or migrants.
The citizen science study “Be Mobile in Your Own Way” aims to make the diversity of needs more visible. Join in because only together can we find solutions that work for everyone.
How the study is structured
The study runs from April 2025 to March 2026. Participants can decide whether they want to go beyond the basic module, depending on how much time they have.
Who we are
The AMBER team is part of Freie Universität Berlin and the Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IÖW). We research topics such as health, the environment, and urban climate. Since 2023, we have been preparing the citizen science study. Now, we are looking forward to the exchange!
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) funds the AMBER project.
