Bochum discusses the digital city of tomorrow in the historic Pump House
At City Lab on Visit XL, Smart City strategy meets real Bochum everyday practice. The event on September 22, 2026, in the Pump House of the Jahrhunderthalle focuses on five years of Model Projects Smart Cities and combines reflection, outlook, and direct exchange with the city's community.
Five years of tangible digital urban development
The Smart City Innovation Unit Bochum, together with Mayor Jörg Lukat and CDO Denes Kücük, takes stock. The focus is on concrete solutions that are intended to make everyday life easier: from better accessible information to understandable decisions and digital urban development with clear benefits for Bochum.
Interactive exchange instead of pure frontal lecture
The format emphasizes participation. Visitors bring their experiences, ideas, and questions and engage directly with the responsible parties. This is exactly where the special event atmosphere arises: approachable, dialogue-oriented, and truly focused on the needs of the city.
Industrial charm at the edge of the Westpark
The Pump House at the Jahrhunderthalle provides an appropriate setting for this. The location combines historical industrial culture with modern event planning and short travel times. For many Bochumers, the surrounding area has long been a familiar place for special events with its own character.
Well organized, clearly positioned, free access
Participation is free, but spaces are limited. This keeps the event experience manageable and personal. Anyone interested in Smart City, digital urban development, citizen participation, and future topics will find here a compact and inspiring preliminary report on an important Bochum format.
Conclusion: City Lab on Visit XL promises a lively evening with strong insights, concrete projects, and direct dialogue. Anyone who wants to experience how Bochum envisions its digital future should attend this event live.
