| Title | Mobilizing Change: Feminist Strategies for Climate Responsive Mobility in Vienna |
| Summary | This thesis explores how gender-responsive policies can facilitate climate action within Vienna's urban mobility framework. A mixed-methods approach is used, including qualitative document analysis and expert interviews, which provide data for the analysis of Vienna's integration of gender and climate objectives in mobility policies. The findings reveal significant overlaps between gender-responsive and climate-responsive mobility, which becomes apparent in shared goals such as promoting active mobility and reducing car dependency. However, practical implementation faces ideological and logistical challenges. Overcoming these barriers requires holistic and inclusive approaches that consider diverse needs. Thereupon, this thesis suggests that applying these insights can help integrate gender and climate considerations into mobility planning, ultimately contributing to more equitable and sustainable urban mobility systems. This can be achieved through holistic thinking and working towards equitable mobility for all through gendered policy approaches. Overall, this research fills a gap in the literature on the practical implementation of gender-responsive mobility policies, demonstrating their potential to advance climate goals and emphasizing the need for ongoing research and dialogue. |
