InnovationCity Transforms Bottrop and the Ruhr Region
Bottrop, a city in Germany, has embarked on an ambitious project to transform itself and the broader Ruhr metropolitan area into sustainable and livable urban spaces. This project, known as InnovationCity, seeks to be a catalyst for urban transformation that can be replicated in comparable cities and regions.
At the heart of InnovationCity is the InnovationCity Management Company, which has recently opened an Information and Consultation Center (ZIB) to help guide the project. The vision of InnovationCity is to contribute to a sustainable and livable future for cities and regions, while promoting resource conservation and climate protection.
The citizens are an essential part of the overall project. Homeowners and tenants in the "Neighborhood Works Rheinbaben" project are sought to create nodes of heat-power coupling while preserving heritage-protected design elements. An incentive of up to 60% in funding is offered for this project in InnovationCity.
The city of Bottrop offers direct subsidies for home extensions and renovations under the "Promotion Regulation 11.1". Owners of homes in InnovationCity can apply to renovate their homes together with partners from industry.
Successful campaigns in the InnovationCity pilot area include the exchange of old heating systems, connecting homes to the district heating network, and energy consulting. Several "Future Houses" in InnovationCity generate more energy than they consume after technical renovation.
Politics, society, business, and science are encouraged to work closely together in InnovationCity. The long-term goal of the "InnovationCity Rollout" is the nationwide and global transferability of insights and processes gained. The rollout aims to transform 20 more city districts in the Ruhr metropolitan area in an energy-efficient and climate-friendly manner.
InnovationCity is a large-scale renovation of existing structures. The retrofitted homes or newly built social housing units in InnovationCity have a unique feature in all of Europe. The project is aiming to become a model district for energy efficiency by 2020.
The InnovationCity project aims to reduce CO2 emissions in the city center and southern city by 50% by the end of the decade. The ultimate goal of the project is to create a healthy environment, attractive living space, and promote resource conservation and climate protection.
For more information about InnovationCity and the ZIB, citizens are encouraged to visit the Information and Consultation Center in Bottrop. The center is open to all and offers guidance, resources, and support for those interested in participating in this groundbreaking urban transformation project.
