Green oases for city dwellers: New brochure on urban development published!
On June 10, 2025, everything revolves around the development and design of urban spaces in Dresden. The focus is particularly on the “Lebendige Seestrasse” initiative, which aims to achieve green and livable urban development. The city recently published a brochure that provides comprehensive information on “urban green infrastructure.”
This brochure is the result of a research and development project by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation, which deals with the fundamentally important issue of oases in urban areas. According to bfn.de it presents definitions and goals that include both planning principles and practical implementation options in municipal practice.
Designing urban oases
The aim of this initiative is clear: the securing and development of green infrastructure in cities should be promoted in order to improve the quality of life for citizens. Based on the findings, actors are involved and strategic steps necessary to realize this vision are determined. The brochure is supported by various associations, including the German Garden Office Managers' Conference and the Association for the Environment and Nature Conservation Germany.
An important aspect of urban green infrastructure is that it not only helps improve air quality, but also helps manage heavy rainfall events. This opens up new perspectives for urban planning, which should increasingly be based on ecological aspects. Potential areas for green projects are also identified.
A look into the future
This project shows how the connection between public space and nature should have a high priority in urban development. Not only is this green infrastructure aesthetically pleasing, but it also allows cities to become more resilient to climate change.
Those interested can find further information about these exciting approaches and the associated projects on the platforms that deal with urban green infrastructure, such as the LSS or the district newspapers that report on the “Lebendige Seestrasse”.
What will happen next in the city and what new projects will be planned remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the future of Dresden should be green and livable.
