So far, the changes in mobility - mainly technological, like e-mobility - have not initiated the transition towards an ecologically and socially sustainable development of city quarters in Munich. The project “Car-reduced quarters for a more livable city” (AQT) is part of the Munich Cluster for the Future of Mobility in Metropolitan Regions and is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The aim is to increase acceptance and use of multimodal transport options, to significantly reduce individual car ownership and use. Consequently, to enhance the quality of life in a more just city as well as the improvement of health and well-being. Living labs create the opportunity to observe the transformation process and serve as a research framework to examine push- and pull- factors. Providing the maximum of transparency in the decision process of location of living labs supports transferability and scalability. ¬¬The authors aim to show their approach for this decision-making process to generate comparable and transferable insights. Thus, using quantitative data is crucial within a defined frame of geographical location. Quantitative data includes road space reallocation, travel demand and social milieus stemming from MiD, annual statistical report of Munich and sinus milieus. Qualitative data, such as the political mindset of district boards, will complete the research. The study contribution invites researchers working with living labs to discuss and share decision making processes in order to create a framework for choosing neighborhoods that can be used by other executors of similar urban living labs. The authors want to discuss, how this approach facilitates the comparison of the processes of different labs and thereby helps to acknowledge their contribution to a more just and participatory planning process. (Note: At the time of abstract submission, the work is still ongoing. However, it will be completed before the conference.)     «
