How Siemens is Changing Erlangen: Urban Development in Lecture Hall C

The Siemens Campus has visibly shaped the cityscape of Erlangen. This special event at Friedrich-Alexander-University addresses the question of how entrepreneurial investments, research, jobs, and public planning influence the development of a city.

A Campus as an Urban Development Impulse

In recent years, a large-scale area has emerged on the southern edge of downtown Erlangen. The development of the Siemens Campus exemplifies Erlangen's transformation into a knowledge-based city. Office and research spaces, new connectivity, and additional dining and service offerings are changing the spatial perception of the city.

Research Meets Urban Society

The geography department in Erlangen has accompanied the development process over a ten-year period and has conducted regional monitoring. The event will bring together perspectives from science, urban development, and regional analysis. The focus is on the interactions between Siemens, FAU, public planning, and urban everyday life.

Between Knowledge City and Company Town

The Siemens Campus serves as a vivid case study for entrepreneurially shaped urban development. The significance of large investments, potential changes in southern Erlangen, and the long-term consequences for traffic, retail, gastronomy, housing, and urban functions will be discussed.

An Evening with Expert Insights

The event is aimed at everyone who wants to better understand Erlangen's transformation: students, professionals in urban planning and geography, and interested citizens. The university atmosphere in Lecture Hall C provides the appropriate setting for a concentrated discussion on a topic that already influences the daily life of the city today.

Those who want to know how the Siemens Campus is changing the urban fabric, knowledge economy, and southern downtown will experience a well-founded event with a regional connection and current research focus.
