Science City: Knowledge creates a city

By the 2040s, Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld will be a new part of Hamburg that is much more than the sum of its parts: more than a center for basic research and applied science, more than an incubator for innovation and technology transfer, and more than a diverse residential location.

The result will be a knowledge-based urban space that is also a vibrant neighborhood. With attractive housing and recreational spaces, a magnet for students, scientists and creative people from all over the world. That offers ideal conditions as a location for scientific institutions, start-ups and innovative companies, with laboratories and several thousand workstations. It integrates the Volkspark and offers new residential opportunities for the neighborhood, cleverly connecting teaching and research facilities as well as innovative company locations – and thus allowing knowledge to take root in the city.
