The Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community (BMI) and the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development (BBSR) conferred distinctions on 20 cooperation projects at today’s digital event marking the end of the competition "Gemeinsam erfolgreich. Mobil in ländlichen Räumen” (Successful together. Mobile in rural areas).
On the occasion of the award presentation, State Secretary Dr. Markus Kerber said: “The award-winning cooperation projects in the competition play a pioneering role and show throughout the country what mobility can look like! The future has already been put into practice here. That is something we want to acknowledge and encourage others to emulate."
The head of the BBSR, Dr. Markus Eltges, added: “The successfully realised cooperation projects can also act as a precedent for other municipalities. “Mobilikon shows how such measures improve local mobility by using these and many other projects as examples. The online reference material describes the measures very descriptively in order to provide those responsible in municipalities with support in realising similar projects."
The projects were selected by a jury made up of representatives from science, research, transport and administration. The BMI and BBSR present the 20 award-winning projects under the online Mobilikon reference (www.mobilikon.de).
Each of the competition winners is awarded 5,000 euros; three outstanding projects were particularly commended:
The competition takes place as part of the Shaping the Region programme, through which the BMI supports projects especially tailored to rural areas. Their aim is to promote equal living conditions throughout Germany, which is a key concern of the federal government’s community policy. The BBSR processes the new models for action for practical application and derives transferable conclusions for rural areas.
About Mobilikon:
The “Mobilikon” online reference material outlines solutions for municipal mobility management in a user-friendly and practicable manner, thus enabling municipalities to find and implement customised, intelligent mobility solutions. Mobilikon comprises specific actions, planning-related, legal and financial instruments, aids for implementation and real-life examples. This entails the continuous assessment of ongoing research projects, pilot projects, professional publications and practical examples, while success factors and implementation problems are analysed and addressed. This results in regularly updated reference material on the topic of local mobility. The Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community and the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development are responsible for the content. www.mobilikon.de
