The future starts here

What is actually Smart City ?

Sustainable solutions are being developed in the City of Dresden that will transform our city into the city of tomorrow. We are using digitalization to network areas such as energy, buildings, transport and water for future-oriented urban development.

The resulting smartapplications and concepts contribute to strengthening Dresden as a liveable, resource-efficient and sustainable city, creating a higher quality of life and further developing the city as an innovative business location. This change is being driven by close cooperation between citizens, administration, science and business.

Roadmap

01 | Concept

In the conception phase, we plan the respective project and prepare it for implementation. This also includes financing and time schedules.

02 | Implementation

Following the design phase, the Smart-City projects are gradually being implemented. They are tested as models and their effectiveness is analyzed.

03 | Stabilization

Once the technical and economic feasibility and the desired effect have been proven, the projects will be successively consolidated. They will be transferred to other areas of application.

04 | Further development

In order to ensure that the projects rolled out also contribute to the objectives of the state capital in the long term, they are constantly being developed and adapted to current circumstances.
