Smart City Dresden
The city of Dresden is working on becoming a "smart city".
This means that we are using modern technology to better network areas such as energy, buildings, transport and water.
In this way, we want to make life in Dresden easier and more environmentally friendly.
To achieve this, citizens, administration, science and business are working closely together.
Our steps:
- Planning: We develop ideas and prepare projects.
- Implementation: We test the projects and check how well they work.
- Consolidation: Proven projects are introduced on a permanent basis and transferred to other areas.
- Further development: We constantly adapt the projects so that they are useful in the long term.
Our main topics:
- Smart administration: we improve access to city services and encourage the entire citizenry to participate.
- Community: We bring people together and strengthen community life.
- Health: We use modern technology to make health care economical and effective.
- Communication: We are improving the exchange of information in the city.
- Energy and environment: We use sensors and smart grids to save energy and protect the environment.
- Mobility: We are making transportation safer, faster and better for nature.
Examples of projects:
The "Cleema App" is designed to motivate citizens to act in a more environmentally conscious way.
Another project is planning a residential area that generates its own energy.
We are also developing an app for the Ostra sports park and are working on a system that monitors the condition of our roads.
About us
Digitalization is changing administration, the economy and life in the city.
We are using these opportunities for a sustainable development of the city that benefits everyone.
Our plans strengthen Dresden as a liveable and environmentally friendly city.
Dresden combines culture, science and technology.
This is where solutions for the digital city of the future are created.
The department Smart City in the Office for Economic Development works together with science, business and society.
Together we develop new technologies for the sustainable development of the city.
For over 3 years, the city administration Dresden has been participating in the " Smart Cities" model project with the Technical University Dresden.
This project is supported by the German government.
New ideas for networked and sustainable cities are being developed.
Because researchers and practitioners work closely together, the projects benefit from first-class knowledge.
This enables new ideas and technologies to be put into practice.
