Description
In view of the fact that car parks have a useful life of 40 years, many cities are faced with the decision of what the mobility centres of the future will look like in view of the mobility transformation. With the increasing heterogeneity of mobility demand (e.g. multimodality, e-bike boom, "sharing" services), ever shorter innovation cycles in vehicle technology (e.g. electromobility or autonomous driving) and in view of the challenges of climate change, traditional car park concepts no longer appear to be suitable for meeting the mobility needs of the population in the future. For this reason, construction of existing car parks should use new architectural, traffic planning and building technology approaches in order to enable use up to the year 2060.
The research project "Mobility Centres of the Future" deals with precisely this topic and focuses on city centres of medium-sized cities. The guidelines conceptualize “Multimodal Hubs” as city centre infrastructure for the citywide promotion of sustainable and climate-friendly mobility. The transformation of existing or future car parks to Multimodal Hubs is discussed from the perspectives of mobility, civil engineering, energy and urban development.
The results illustrate strategies of implementation of multimodal hubs to municipal and private developers: what can a concrete local implementation look like - for example, for the energy supply of e-cars, with regard to flexible grid structures and the right choice of materials, for the future conversion of car parking spaces into bicycle parking spaces or for retrofitting a city logistics hub.
At the same time, the mobility transformation cannot stop at the "multi-storey car park" building type: The reduction of parking space is necessary in the course of the modal shift, both from a mobility and an economic point of view. In addition, multimodal inner-city infrastructures must be supplemented by services in the neighbourhoods.
Biography
Dipl.-Ing. Benjamin Dally studied spatial planning and is engaged in the field of spatial innovation. From 2003 he worked at Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe at what is now the IDS - Institute for Design Strategies and later at the iFE – Institute for Energy research. His projects included challenges in regional development, mobility and energy transformation. These also include the development, operation and handover to the public sector of a community-based cargo bike sharing service. He later became involved in research and planning practice in the field of smart cities. Since 2023, he is a project lead at the Digital City Science lab at HafenCity Universität Hamburg.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Susanne Schwickert studied civil engineering and completed her doctorate in the field of energy-saving construction. Her dissertation was honoured with distinction. After several professional years as a building physics specialist planner and consultant in a construction company and a renowned building physics office, she has been working at the Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe since 2005 at the "Detmold School of Design" architecture faculty on topics relating to energy saving, resource conservation in building construction and climate-friendly design, taking into account the aspects of circularity. In 2023 he has received the university's research prize. She trains energy consultants and lectures at chambers on CO2-minimised construction.
