In the second week of April 2018, a sixth grade of the primary school “Kartaus” in Zurich temporarily transformed a parking lot, as part of a project week on mobility and public space. In one and a half day, the school class built a bar from recycled wooden material: the Carrozza bar. In teams, they developed a design idea, a communication concept, several means of communication such as a flyer and posters, and prepared the decoration for the bar.
On April 8th and April 15th 2018, the official opening of Metamorphosis was celebrated in the two participating residential settlements in Zurich, “Bändli” and “Tiefenbrunnen”. In both settlements, a mobility share point with an e-bike and an e-cargo-bike each was inaugurated. The bikes can be used free of charge by the residents. A bike mechanics demonstrated to the residents how they get their own bikes ready for the bicycle season. Soon, young and old were busy cleaning, greasing, pumping, and tightening screws.
On February the 27th, Tilburg municipality and NHTV started with an innovative GPS- tracking experiment at primary school De Stappen. During a period of two weeks children will carry a GPS-tracker with them to research their multiple transport modalities within the primary school surroundings and neighbourhood. The idea is to show the routes of the children on a map. The routes can help to decide where to take measures in order to (re)design a child friendly neighbourhood. If for instance a route is very crowded with motorised traffic, do the children also experience it this way?

Im Rahmen der NRW-Landeskampagne „Mehr Freiraum für Kinder. Ein Gewinn für alle!“ haben sich 22 Kommunen auf den Weg gemacht, sichere Spiel- und Bewegungsräume für Kinder zu schaffen und zurückzuerobern. Sie haben mit externer Unterstützung ihr eigenes kommunales Konzept erarbeitet, um die Interessen von Kindern und Jugendlichen dauerhaft bei der Stadt- und Verkehrsplanung zu berücksichtigen.
