What is a 
Smart City?

Whatexactly is

Smart City ?

In the City of Dresden, sustainable solutions are being developed to 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 smart applications 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 transformation is being driven by close cooperation between citizens, administration, science and business.

Dresden, the state capital, is developing sustainable solutions 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 resulting smartapplications and concepts help to strengthen Dresden as a liveable, resource-generating and sustainable city, to create a higher quality of life, and to further develop the city as a highly innovative business hub. This transformation is being driven forward through close cooperation between citizens, the local government, academia and the business community.
