The Mo-Bo initiative takes a holistic approach to Mobility and Housing to increase resource efficiency in urban development. Investments can be made smarter through sharing services, digitalization and new thinking about the form, operation and use of buildings.
Mobility and housing are currently handled as two separate issues; the project group wants to combine these aspects to take an integrated approach that frees up space, saves resources and creates great value. A new architecture and living environment becomes possible. The previous phase of Mo-Bo has looked at new production, where a new building design for mobility services has been developed into construction-ready drawings.
This phase broadens the focus to area level and existing housing stock for greater scalability. The test bed is the Rissne area in Sundbyberg. To realize the full potential of the solution, the project will address the entire chain from municipal policy to residents' experiences and everyday life to pave the way for a broader system change.
This initiative is a continuation of the project Mo-Bo - Architecture for Sustainable Mobility.

2020-02-19 Lisa Nilsson, student at Uppsala University, has written the report Is there a new sustainable mobility? - An exploratory case study on the change potential of the innovation project Mo-Bo III. In the report, Lisa follows the development of Mo-Bo III, and summarizes: "Thus, I conclude that the vision and project strategy underlying Mo-Bo's third project initiative has the potential to create a disruptive change in the passenger transport system in large cities in the longer term. But it requires good local public transport conditions, municipal political support, good collaboration and communication."
