This website is an online-field trip through some quarters of the city of Bochum in which topics from the geography-module “city and regional development” are picked up and exemplary advanced. Material (audio data, maps, questions) is made available online for students to autonomously conduct field trips. Subject-specific topics are creative economies, real estate and location communities, promotion of urban development or problems of disadvantaged urban quarters.
