Core city concept 2020

In the area of inner city development, the city of Hof relies on the "Core City Concept 2020", which is based on four pillars.

1st pillar

The first pillar is frequency drivers and structural redesign. These include construction projects such as the town hall extension and the new ice pond, but also the VHS Hofer Land, newly located in the town center, and the redesign/upgrading of Ludwigstrasse.

2nd pillar

The second pillar falls under the umbrella term mobility. While the parking concept of the city of Hof is constantly being developed further, also from the point of view of the mobility of the future with e-cars and car sharing, the idea of using driverless buses in the city center in the future is being promoted in parallel.

3rd pillar

The third pillar is the digitization of the shopping city of Hof in order to digitally position the retail trade by means of a common platform, blogger for the city center, training in social media, Google Business and SEO so well that it can survive in the completely changed shopping environment of the present as well as the future. In addition, free WLAN coverage, which is constantly being expanded, is available in almost the entire city center.

4th pillar

As a fourth pillar, Hof's city marketing organizes interesting, innovative festivals and events to offer people in the city added value beyond the mere shopping experience.
