The city of Hanau is located in the Main-Kinzig district and is part of the FrankfurtRhineMain regional association. In 2021, the city of Hanau will have exceeded 100,000 inhabitants and will be now Hessens "smallest" large city. This is another reason why the city of Hanau, in cooperation with the Main-Kinzig district, is striving to become a district-free city in the medium term.The development of (inner-city) transport of the future is a very important and challenging task for all cities, which cannot be solved alone, but only in cooperation with the respective region.In March 2019, the city of Hanau discussed various aspects of future urban life with over 7,000 visitors at a citizens' participation weekend. One aspect was mobility. The basic message, as it was often presented at this weekend, was: "Green instead of grey". In other words, the transformation of traffic areas into green spaces: More plants, less asphalt, more quality of life and stay.In the summer of 2020, the city councillors decided to draw up the mobility model as the first module for future transport development.The process for the "Vision" hold up almost two years and is the results of the cooperation of experts from research and science, urban and mobility planning, municipal transport development and administration (Büro für Mobilitätslösungen, Technische Hochschule Nürnberg, ADFC, Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, Hanauer Parkhaus GmbH, Lokale Nahverkehrsorganisation, Hanauer Straßenbahn GmbH, KVG Main-Kinzig mbH, Benz+Walter, dmo - digital mobilities consultants, StetePlanung, Hanau Infrastruktur Service, Stadtwerke Hanau, Standortmarketing, Straßenverkehrsbehörde, Nachhaltige Strategien, Stadtplanung), the political bodies and, last but not least, the citizens of Hanau.On 13.12.2021, the Mobility Model Hanau - Towards Future was decided unanimously.In the following paper the reader gets an overview how Hanau reaches the goals of Mobility Model.
