How can cities successfully combine sustainability, digitalisation, and citizen-focused mobility? In a recent episode of the German Future4Public podcast, our partner Frances Weiß from the city Dresden shared how MOBILITIES FOR EU is helping Dresden answer exactly that question.

Representing one of our Lead Cities, Frances provided an engaging overview of Dresden’s innovative activities in the Ostragehege district, where a wide range of smart mobility solutions are being tested under real-world conditions. From mobile charging robots and intelligent digital guidance systems to connected infrastructure and sustainable urban transport concepts, Dresden is positioning itself at the forefront of Europe’s mobility transition.

During the discussion, she highlighted the added value MOBILITIES FOR EU brings to the city, not only through technological innovation but also by creating practical solutions that improve urban sustainability, efficiency, and accessibility. At the same time, she addressed the challenges that come with implementing ambitious smart-city pilots, from coordination between stakeholders to ensuring long-term scalability.

The podcast episode demonstrates how Dresden is actively contributing to the development of integrated, climate-friendly mobility systems that can serve as models for cities across Europe.
