Spreading visitors, increasing quality of life for the inhabitants of the historic city center of s'-Hertogenbosch
The Spoorzone (Railway Zone, next to the Old Town) adds new momentum to the existing city centre. It is a multicoloured area. Culture and history, transport hub and nature, presence of young people and new employment opportunities can be seen here. But the Spoorzone is also an innovation lab for the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch itself. Develop, apply and really experience are terms that fit well here. And all this as sustainably as possible. The municipality would like to continue the further development and is therefore taking the next step by merging the Spoorzone and the historic city centre into one vibrant urban area of Den Bosch. This new vision derived from the Local Flavours project is called: the Broad Inner City. The city council has set out the direction for this further development in the Position Paper "Broad Inner City”. This paper explains how the municipality envisages this and what role the Spoorzone plays in it.

In the Spoorzone, we test new concepts and technologies that make life more pleasant, in areas such as mobility, sustainability and living in a city. Which technology contributes to this and in what way, we test together with citizens, businesses and education. s-hertogenbosch.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html
Finally, a walking route app has been developed, featuring the local flavours of the Spoorzone area. www.erfgoedshertogenbosch.nl/actueel/nieuwe-wandeling-in-het-paleiskwartier This new route is ideal for anyone curious about what else 's-Hertogenbosch has to offer besides the city centre. Old and new come together here. From modern buildings such as the Palace of Justice and the Armada to industrial heritage such as Interpharm's Shed roof complex. Through your smartphone or tablet, images with interesting facts can be seen at set points. The historical photos from the collection of Erfgoed 's-Hertogenbosch show what the area used to look like. Along the way, you will also find many catering establishments for a stop for a snack or drink.
