Mobile Utopias in Bochum: Street dreams that can become reality

On foot, by bike, by bus or by car – how do we plan streets so that everyone truly feels comfortable? Prof. Dr. Iris Mühlenbruch (University of Applied Sciences Bochum) shows in a focused presentation how future-oriented mobility succeeds and what that means for the urban spaces of Bochum. Free admission.

An evening full of perspectives: Research meets urban life

The event atmosphere in the Querenburg city library is focused and open for dialogue. Illustrative examples from Bochum and projects worldwide clearly demonstrate how good event management and forward-looking event planning enable discussions at eye level. Visitors experience an event experience that makes scientific expertise tangible and invites active target group engagement.

Sensory impressions: City, street, mood

Sketches of greened streets, safe intersections, quiet places to stay – the audience mood swings between curiosity and moments of realization. Concrete images, clear data, and lively scenes help to understand conflicts between modes of transport and develop solutions for public space.

Expertise with substance

Prof. Dr. Iris Mühlenbruch has been researching and teaching sustainable mobility for years. Awards and media contributions underline her authority. The series 'Knowledge Round Utopias' by vhs, city library, and UniverCity Bochum e.V. frames the evening – a strong cooperation that connects science, urban society, and practice.

What you will take away

Practical action options, inspiring best-practice examples, and a clear view of typical interest conflicts. You will receive tools to rethink streets in a future-oriented manner – including impulses for participation, accessibility, and quality of stay.

Conclusion: A compact, inspiring knowledge talk about the 'Street for All'. Come by, ask questions, discuss – and experience how utopian ideas become realistic urban development.
