The theme of this year's IT get-together was "Municipal supply as an anchor of stability in times of crisis". Eigenbetrieb IT-Dienstleistungen, Dresden-IT GmbH and SachsenEnergie AG hosted interesting keynote speeches on past, current and future IT developments and IT cooperation within the municipal group.
The model project Smart City Dresden spoke on the topic of "The resilient Smart City ". Together with the head of the IT services department, Prof. Dr. Michael Breidung, project manager Johanna Sittel presented the Smart-City strategy developed as part of the project. The focus was on the resilience of the strategy and the individual measures it contains.
The measures "strategic maintenance management", "environmental monitoring - digital urban heavy rain twin" and the "cleema app" served as illustrative examples.
"Smart City and resilience are actually inseparable. If you look closely, you will see that aspects of resilience can be found in all of our measures selected for the implementation phase of the model project Smart City ," explains Johanna Sittel.
The strategy was adopted by the city council as the basis for the package of measures put together in the project. The measures are all interlinked. The structural interconnectedness of the elements (in our case the individual measures) of a system (here the Smart-City strategy) is described as modularity and is one of the main characteristics of a resilient system, along with feedback loops, redundancy and diversity.
