The future starts here

What exactly is Smart City ?

In the state capital, Dresden, sustainable solutions are being developed that are transforming our city into the city of tomorrow. Through digitalisation, we are integrating sectors such as energy, buildings, transport and water to drive forward-looking urban development.

The emerging smartapplications and concepts are helping to strengthen Dresden as a liveable, resource-efficient and sustainable city, to create a higher quality of life, and to further develop the city as a hub of innovation and economic activity. This transformation is being driven forward through close collaboration between citizens, the local government, academia and the business community.

Roadmap

01 | Concept

During the planning phase, we draw up the plans for the project in question and prepare it for implementation. This also includes drawing up funding and timetables.

02 | Implementation

Following the design phase, the ‘ Smart ’ – ‘City ’ projects are gradually being rolled out. As part of this process, they are being trialled as pilot schemes and their effectiveness analysed.

03 | Continuity

Once the technical and economic feasibility, as well as the desired impact, have been demonstrated, the projects are gradually rolled out on a permanent basis. In the process, they are extended to cover further areas of application.

04 | Further development

To ensure that the projects that have been rolled out continue to contribute to the state capital’s objectives in the long term, they are constantly being further developed and adapted to current circumstances.
