Welcome to the Digital Alternative Mobility Monitor (DMM)

The Digital Alternative Mobility Monitor (DMM) is a world-wide platform dedicated to monitoring changes in our daily mobility. Some of these changes are really deep and may lead to new futures of movement.

DMM is a research-driven platform: we collect and curate stories, alongside a small set of indicators, to understand how mobility transitions actually unfold—across places and over time.

DMM charts these changes by documenting the way we tell our mobility experiences and our ideas about the future to others. Does e-biking change our world? Should we diminish car use? How can we make public transport attractive? How can we make walking safer?

DMM does not rank cities: it focuses on processes, tensions and trade-offs, making experiences comparable without reducing them to a single score.

By collecting our told experiences and documenting our stories, we aim to build a network for research, reflection and exchange, grounded in learning-by-doing. We will organize country and city stakeholder panels, set up occasional surveys to ask specific questions (have you ever experienced an accident? how was your road experience during your summer vacation? do you have a bike at home?), invite specialists from government and industry for their comments, and attract scholars to analyse our narratives and indicators as the project grows.
