New paper! "Beyond the car. Car-free housing as a laboratory to overcome the system of automobility” with Daniel Baehler in Applied Mobilities 50 free eprints bit.ly/3oFsWN8 Main results ⤵️1/4 
We studied 9 car-free housing projects in Germany 🇩🇪and Switzerland . Residents commit to living without a private car ➡️ They give insights on how to decrease motorization in cities and to implement a post-car system and a #15minutecity 2/4
Residents develop 4 strategies: taking full advantage of cycling (trailers, cargobikes, ebikes) & public transportation; mobility services (e.g. carsharing); everyday life organized on proximity and car-free accessibility; neighbourly help and activities 3/4
What is also needed is a favorable spatial context (cycling and transit infrastructures, built environment, density), legal framework (that authorizes car-free housing) and social norms (a mobility culture in which not owning a car is seen as normal) 4/4
In case there is no free eprints anymore, just DM!
