The Smart City Partnership with Hannover
Together into the future
The starting signal for the joint project and the signing of the "Smart City Memorandum of Understanding" took place on 12.05.2022 on the station forecourt of Hanover Central Station. Bernd Koch, who was Chairman of the Management Board of DB Station&Service AG at the time, and Berit Onay, Mayor of the City of Hanover, signed the agreement, thus laying the foundation stone.
Sustainable onward travel and urban logistics with a future
Among other things, the first measures will be implemented at the main station, such as new waiting furniture - the Freiraum Kit - and open-air events. In addition, so-called mobility hubs will in future bundle all sharing vehicles for onward travel from the station. Here, travelers will find all sharing offers bundled in one place and can easily switch from the train to e-scooters and the like. This saves a lot of time and nerves.
