The 'Car-reduced living in an existing residential area at Johannesplatz in Halle/Saale' demonstration is the first attempt in Germany to realise car-free living in an existing residential area. It contributes to a more sustainable city and mobility. At Johannesplatz, a local mobility management and urban renewal process has been initiated. The process started with a traffic experiment. This interim report describes the background, the aim and the approach of the ongoing project as well as the current status of project development. It shows the implemented measures of the traffic experiment, their positive results for environmental quality and the degree of acceptance by the residents. The main focus is on the successful co-operative planning process of a public-private partnership between the municipality of Halle/Saale and a local housing company. The realised measures have been intensively discussed in a permanent participation process with the people living at Johannesplatz and have been carried out in consensus with them. (A)
