Abstract

Climate change is one of today’s big topics, so climate-friendly mobility habits are needed. The digital transformation, another mega-trend, can support changing these habits. One step in the change process is the establishment of a positive attitude towards novel mobility measures such as the reduction of parking spaces. In this paper, we present an unobtrusive way to change citizens’ attitude towards new mobility measures: We have developed a game, called ‘MiniLautern’, that introduces novel mobility measures to the players and lets them explore their effects on a smart city district. The target group are citizens. We present how we developed this game based on a Design Sprint, provide background information about the design decisions, and show examples from our solution.
