Important information: City planning is moving – this is how you can reach us!

Changes are coming in Dresden: the Office for Urban Planning and Mobility is moving. The office will therefore only be accessible to a limited extent from July 28th to August 8th, 2025. Users must adjust to the new address in the Stadtforum, Waisenhausstraße 14, 01069 Dresden. If you have any concerns, you should make an appointment in advance, as employees are not available without prior agreement. However, applications can be sent as usual by email stadtplanning-mobilitaet@dresden.de be sent. The number 0351-4883220 is available for telephone questions if you prefer direct contact.

But the relocation chaos is not just limited to the organizational changes in the city office. Rather, the topic of urban development and mobility planning is more relevant than ever. As part of the “Integrated Urban Development and Mobility Planning” (ISM) project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, new concepts for urban mobility are to be developed. The aim is to reduce environmental pollution in cities and at the same time promote equal opportunities and diversity in urban life. As you can see, there are important tasks ahead of us that are important not only for the city of Dresden, but for many urban areas.

New thinking for a modern city

The ISM project takes a holistic approach. It's about combining urban planning, mobility behavior and technological innovations in order to improve the quality of life of citizens. It also explores how to incentivize behavior change to establish a new urban culture. This framework also examines what framework conditions and cooperation are necessary to ensure the implementation of innovative concepts.

The German Institute for Standardization (Difu) accompanies these developments, supported by empirical research and knowledge transfer. The idea behind it: to develop practical solutions and guidelines that can help both municipalities and regional actors in their planning. In the long term, the advantages of urban life and the possibilities of short distances in multifunctional urban spaces should be better exploited, while at the same time environmental and climate goals are taken into account.

It's clear that there's a lot going on in the city. The restructuring of the office is only a small part of a larger vision that aims to make life in Dresden more sustainable and attractive. In the colorful landscape of urban development, many actors are working to put this vision into practice. And one thing is certain: the changes are much more than just a move - they are a step in the right direction to make Dresden fit for the future.
