NUMIC 2.0
The NUMIC 2.0 project - New Urban Mobility Awareness in Chemnitz - is researching citizen participation in transport planning. Improved participation promises a new exchange between citizens and administration in planning and increases sustainable mobility awareness. To this end, new formats (such as virtual reality technologies) are being trialled in Chemnitz. The project aims to develop recommendations for participation for Chemnitz and interested municipalities.
The project is being carried out by Chemnitz University of Technology and the City of Chemnitz. Practical work will be carried out on participations centred around future transport projects. The scientific side is analysing how citizen participation works. To identify this, the participation processes will be varied and evaluated in four decisive factors:
- Frame of reference & level of participation
- Involvement of different groups of people and stakeholders
- Time of participation
- Potential of digital support formats for citizen participation.
NUMIC 2.0 will also utilise and try out different ways of communication to discuss sustainable mobility in Chemnitz.
As an overarching community of citizens, the urban public with its various groups of people and stakeholders will be broadly informed with the help of communication measures analogous to NUMIC on the one hand, and activated for transformation processes in a concrete and target group-specific manner on the other.
NUMIC 2.0 continues and strengthens the cooperation between the City of Chemnitz and Chemnitz University of Technology from the previous NUMIC project. The project runs from 1 December 2022 to 30 May 2025 and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research's (BMBF) funding priority "Socio-ecological research".
