Abstract: Efforts to enhance urban mobility sustainability face opposition, necessitating citizen acceptance and participation. This study explores the determinants of willingness to engage in digital co-creation for urban mobility planning. The research, conducted in Darmstadt, Germany, examines socio-economic factors, perceptions, and attitudes. Results indicate that financial and time resources have limited influence on participation, emphasising context-specific considerations. Technical proficiency and age impact participation, emphasising the need for user-tailored digital tools. Individual benefits positively motivate participation, while the role of collective benefits is uncertain. Effective communication strategies should stress individual benefits. Surprisingly, perceived efficacy does not positively influence participation. The study enriches the understanding of effective participation strategies in digital co-creation for urban mobility planning, highlighting the multifaceted nature of the process.
