FROM RESEARCH TO PRACTICE:
USING THE SET GUIDELINES KIT FOR
PLANNING STREET EXPERIMENTS

Despite the growing interest and widespread adoption of street experiments, cities lack systematic know-how to effectively plan, implement, assess and upscale such interventions.
Therefore, the development of such a framework is essential to support cities and practitioners in systematically planning, implementing and assessing these interventions. Enhancing their effectiveness, promoting broader acceptance and scalability, allowing them to contribute to long-term impact in cities and support the broader strategic implementation of street experiments across diverse urban contexts.

The Method:

SET Guidelines Kit

SET has developed a methodological framework to support cities, organisations, and practitioners in systematically planning, implementing, and assessing street experiments.

The Street Experiment:

Steinhuber Miniblock

The first real-world application of the SET Guidelines Kit is the Steinhuber Miniblock. A street experiment that applied the toolkit’s recommendations, methods, and evaluation strategies from start to finish.

Application of the SET Guidelines Kit

Explore how the SET Guidelines Kit was applied at each stage of the project, from street diagnose to implementation, communication and evaluation. Get inspired to plan your own street experiment.

The pages SET Guidelines Kit (The Method), Steinhuber Miniblock (The Experiment) and Use of SET Guidelines Kit on an Experiment (Documentation), grouped under “Using SET” section, constitute the three media outputs of the media-based doctoral dissertation titled “From research to practice: A methodological framework to plan, implement and assess street experiments. A test application of the framework in the Steinhuber Miniblock, Munich.”, led by doctoral researcher Ana Graciela Rivas De Gante.

This dissertation is conducted at the Chair of Urban Structure and Transport Planning at the Technical University of Munich, under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gebhard Wulfhorst (Technical University of Munich) and Prof. Dr. Ir. Luca Bertolini (University of Amsterdam).
