Works on the sustainable urban mobility plan in Dresden started in 2009. By the end of 2013, the city completed the first three stages of SUMP Dresden 2025+. During the whole process the priority was the participation of the representatives of citizens, various stakeholders and advisors.
The future urban transport depends on many factors, .:
- Globalization,
- Difficult to predict economic changes (including fluctuations of fuel prices)
- Legislation at European and national level,
- New circumstances for the quality of life in the cities,
- Available technologies,
- Air pollution and noise,
- The level of road safety (number of accidents and their victims)
- Demographic changes (decreasing number of urban population, an aging society),
- Changes in the financing of investment, etc.
