The materiality of mobility. A case study for the City of vienna, Austria

Talk by Doris Virág MA MSc: “The materiality of mobility. A case study for the city of Vienna, Austria”

Urban material stocks of mobility infrastructure and vehicles require substantial amounts of materials and energy for maintenance and operation in order to provide mobility services, thereby causing considerable emissions. We investigate resource demand and emissions linked to personal mobility in Vienna and compare a number of stock-flow-service indicators for four different mobility modes. Policy measures planned by the City of Vienna are discussed in relation to the findings.
