science city

My comment:

My answer sounds similar to Dr.Kaufmann's, but this is the term used nowadays to refer to urban areas dedicated to science museums, labs, expositions and stuff like that.

This is probably the best rendering. I only wonder whether Darmstadt is a well-known university town (I've never heard of it being described like that, unlike Bonn/Heidelberg/Goettingen...), in which case 'university town'.

To John Kinory: Darmstadt is well-known enough, however, I think this is at least partially a commercial statement by the city fathers, i.e., 'be it known that Darmstadt is a city of science' kind of thing...
