Smart or lovable and livable? At the Forum UnternehmerTUM in the BMW Welt, 650 representatives from established companies, politics, science and the start-up scene<\/span>what constitutes a smart city and where Munich wants to develop.<\/p>\n

In Munich, the cosmopolitan city with heart, do we prefer to develop a warm-hearted, \u201clivable and lovable\u201d city of the future or a cool smart city?<\/p>\n

The challenges of a smart city<\/h3>\n

Rural exodus, demographic change, growing cities, and inequalities. The challenges lie in the areas of mobility, housing, the environment, and changing working environments\u2014and also in people's fear of digitalization and loss of control.<\/p>\n

Illustrated by Julian Petrin. The urbanist knows what he's talking about, having founded Nexthamburg, a platform that enables citizens to collaborate on implementing their visions for the city of tomorrow. Petrin also said:<\/p>\n

"The course for the future is being set in the city. Because many of the causes, but also many of the opportunities, for climate change lie in cities."<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The drivers of change are needs such as slowing down, the desire to do things yourself (in Munich clearly visible at the Growth in the maker scene<\/a>) \u2013 but above all the desire to change things together and create a \u201cco-creative\u201d city.<\/p>\n

\"Forum<\/a>
Sophie Wolfrum also addressed the urban planning challenges of a smart city \u00a9 UnternehmerTUM \/ Patrick Ranz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The panel discussion, which was attended by a wide range of experts, revolved around these very challenges and solutions. Dr. Bieberbach<\/strong> from the Munich municipal utilities (SWM), J\u00fcrgen Enninger<\/strong>, Head of the Cultural and Creative Industries Competence Team of the City of Munich, Joseph Schmid<\/strong>, Second Mayor of the City of Munich, Dr. Sch\u00f6nenberger,<\/strong> Managing Director of UnternehmerTUM, Peter Schwarzenbauer<\/strong>, BMW Board Member and SSophie Wolfrum<\/strong>, Professor of Urban and Regional Planning at the Technical University of Munich. Thanks to the engaging contributions and certainly also to the sometimes awkwardly questioning moderator Dominik Wichmann, DLD Managing Director and former editor-in-chief of Stern magazine, it was also a very entertaining discussion.<\/p>\n

Achieve more together<\/h3>\n

The message: \u201cTogether we can achieve more.\u201d<\/em> For example, if creatives, startups, industry and citizens meet in the planned Start-up and innovation center in the creative quarter<\/a> mutually enrich and develop innovations together. Directly tailored to the needs of B2B and B2C customers.<\/p>\n

Helmut Sch\u00f6nenberger considers the new creative quarter to be a unique approach in which Munich could play an international pioneering role:<\/p>\n

"Working together under one roof creates something far more special than if everyone works for themselves. When different disciplines come together, something new emerges."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
