Development of approaches to generate value for citizens, business and administration through the use of open data
Since 2019, the state capital Dresden has established an OpenDataPortal as part of its Urban Platform. This platform provides access to urban data and promotes transparency, participation and innovation by making open data available. With this project, Dresden aims to systematically expand the use of open data and strengthen the role of the public sector as a central data provider and promoter.
The aim of the open data project is to better exploit the benefits of open data for the city. In addition to making the data available, it should also be actively promoted and its use facilitated so that the population, companies and the administration can benefit from it. By analyzing international examples and developing practical use cases, Dresden aims to demonstrate how open data can contribute to solving urban challenges - from promoting innovative ideas to sustainable urban development. In this way, the project aims to make a long-term contribution to shaping Dresden as a modern, liveable and sustainable city.
The OpenDataPortal of the state capital Dresden provides access to various city data sets. From information on traffic planning to environmental measurement data, open data provides insights into many areas of city life, promotes transparency and trust in the administration.
Open data creates concrete added value for the population in everyday life: traffic and weather data helps to plan the day, environmental data provides information on air quality, and much more. In this way, open data makes urban life easier and supports liveable urban development.
Open data enables citizens to help shape their city. For example, district initiatives can be supported by user-friendly data that strengthens participation and self-organization.
With the OpenDataPortal, Dresden is becoming a data-driven city. Through active use and feedback from the population, data sets are expanded and further developed in a targeted manner to create a smarte and needs-based city for everyone.
Open data offers companies in Dresden access to a diverse range of data that enables the development of new, data-based business models. Information on transport infrastructure, demographic developments and environmental measurements provide a valuable basis for innovative services and products.
Companies can use open data to make processes more efficient and better coordinate strategic decisions. For example, market potential can be analyzed in a targeted manner by drawing on publicly accessible city and infrastructure data.
By using open data, companies have the opportunity to develop data-based solutions in close cooperation with the city administration. This creates partnerships and networks that drive economic progress and innovation.
Access to an open data platform offers companies comprehensive insights into the needs of the city and its population. This transparency can be used to create market-oriented products and services and thus increase their own competitiveness.
