Westpark Bochum is the starting point for the urban development of the "Innenstadt West" in Bochum's city centre. The total area available for urban development is about 75 ha. The implementation of the measure began with the approximately 38-hectare park, the first construction phase of which was completed and opened in 1999. The centre of Westpark is now the Jahrhunderthalle, which has been converted into an event centre. The areas directly around the Jahrhunderthalle and some surrounding areas were successively brought into their final form during the event-free times of the RuhrTriennale until 2007. In 2009, the redesign was awarded the National Prize for Integrated Urban Development and Building Culture by the Federal Ministry of Transport.
