Smart City Wiesbaden
How will Wiesbaden become a smart city?
Smart is the English word for clever.
Smart is often used in connection with technology.
Smart means: technology makes life easier.
City is the English word for city.
Wiesbaden is to become a smart city.
There are extra employees in the city administration for this purpose.
The employees have been working on the Smart City since 2021.
The work area is called the Smart City department.
This is where we want to implement Smart City:
1. energy - Energy is a collective term
for electricity and heating.
2. environment
3. transportation, for example by train and car
4. buildings and places in the city
5. living together, education, health
6. administration and services for citizens
We have many goals:
1. digital services for citizens
Digital means:
Using the internet and computers
2. sustainable development
Sustainable means:
Thinking about the future.
For example:
We protect the environment.
So that we can live well in the future.
3. promoting good coexistence
We have good ideas.
We want to make Wiesbaden more modern and liveable.
We are guided by the citizens
We work for the well-being of citizens.
That's why we often talk to citizens.
We want to get to know their needs.
We want to develop the city in such a way
that people can make good use of it.
At the beginning, we asked:
1. what do you need in the city?
2. how can we improve life in the city?
Can technology help us do this?
3. what ideas do citizens have for a smart city?
Citizens were able to come to us and give us their opinions.
In our courses, for example.
And we went to the citizens,
to hear their opinions.
At city festivals, for example.
We will continue to talk to people.
So that we can take their needs into account in our work.
