Dresden looks like an oasis with lots of greenery. There are electric buses on the streets and people on bicycles. This is the vision of the DresdenZero movement for 2035.

In times of climate change, the color of hope is green: a visualization on the website of the citizens' initiative DresdenZero shows what Dresden's Altmarkt could look like in 2035. At the same time, the portal provides easy-to-understand information on which specific climate protection measures could play a role in the city in the future.

Vision of climate neutrality in the next ten years

"In the next ten years, climate protection measures will significantly change the appearance of Dresden and life in the city," said the initiative. In addition to technical and ecological measures, the focus will also be on the social and urban quality of life that a climate-friendly transformation will bring. The DresdenZero initiative aims to help Dresden become a climate-neutral city by 2035.

City planner Thomas Steinborn designed the vision image for DresdenZero: "I really enjoyed combining specialist knowledge, possible solutions and aesthetics in the vision of Dresden's Altmarkt. As an urban planner, I now face the challenge of combining architecture and landscape architecture with climate protection and climate adaptation on an almost daily basis."

Buildings, squares and other areas should be able to withstand extreme weather

According to Steinborn, the aim is to design buildings, squares and other open spaces in such a way that they "offer quality of stay even in hot weather, withstand extreme weather and at the same time contribute to the energy supply". In addition to the many technical, professional and legal details, it is important to make people aware of the climate-neutral and climate-adapted city of the future.

According to DresdenZero, the aim of the visualization and information is to whet people's appetite for a climate-neutral city. The population has little insight into the entire transformation process. "However, fears usually arise from a lack of information. In order to even be able to assess a climate protection plan yourself, you also need your own expertise," the statement continued.
