The University of Applied Sciences for Police and Public Administration NRW (HSPV) forms the anchor of the district's development. Institutes as well as knowledge and technology-oriented service companies from the fields of education, research and development will complement the district - such as the Transformation Center for Georesources and Ecology.
The district concept also focuses on needs-based living space, restaurants and cultural facilities. The urban planning concept developed by STAHM Architekten provides for a robust basic structure that allows flexible development of the usage modules and building plots. A central square and a car-free open space axis form the focal point of the quarter and create attractive and generous open spaces. The result is a place that invites people to linger and is a milestone in the structural transformation of the city of Herne.
