The Architecture Master’s Studios are dedicated to bicycle paths through Graz in the summer semester; traffic aspects and bicycle infrastructure are also to be taken into account.

By Ute Wiedner Students make a contribution to the Mobility Lab with models for active mobility in Graz, and are supported by local and international experts. In addition there are public talks. Towns with more bicycle and pedestrian traffic have higher quality of life and are also attractive for tourists since public spaces benefit from soft mobility. Cities such as Copenhagen, Arnheim/Nijmegen and Rotterdam, who have redesigned their mobility concepts regarding bicycles and pedestrian traffic, have shown that this kind of active mobility has positive effects on health, environment and local business. Impulses for the city region. The city region Graz is also developing new forms of urban mobility in its recently founded MOBILITY LAB GRAZ. Teaching in architecture at TU Graz is injecting new impulses in this year's key focus on 'fast cycle paths'.
