Tuesday, 29. April 2025 Munich Urban Colab | Film screening “The autonomous person” (in German) For many people, having their own car is still indispensable - regardless of particulate matter, land consumption and environmental pollution. Why is it so difficult to give up? And why is the electric car not a solution? These and many other questions about mobility behavior are explored by Austrian spatial planner, filmmaker and journalist Reinhard Seiß in his new documentary “Der automobile Mensch - Irrwege einer Gesellschaft und mögliche Auswege”.

Thursday, 24. Juli 2025 tba | The Olympic Games as a driver of development: From Munich '72 to Paris '24 to Munich '36/'40? Munich is considering a new Olympic bid - and many are asking themselves: What can such a major event still achieve today? A look back shows: quite a lot. The 1972 Games changed Munich forever - with new infrastructure, bold architecture and the Olympic Park as a vibrant center. Back then, the Olympics were an urban development booster. However, its image has suffered in recent decades: gigantism, high costs, empty buildings. Many cities bailed out. Then came Paris '24 - and did a lot of things differently: sustainable, integrated, with a focus on quality of life. Paris shows how the Olympics can once again become a catalyst for a sustainable city. Registration: MCube Speaker Series: Olympia als Entwicklungsmotor Tickets, Thu, Jul 24, 2025 at 6:30 PM | Eventbrite (Event is in German) | Alexandre A.
