Dresden Unveils €120 Million Plan for Buga 2033 Focused on Three Core Sites

Council review comes next ahead of a public design competition in mid-2026.

Overview

  • The updated concept halves the 2023 estimate of €232 million by prioritizing projects under current fiscal conditions.
  • Funding is slated to come equally from municipal resources and external grants.
  • Major allocations target Südpark and the Galopprennbahn at €39 million each, with €19 million for the Kiessee Leuben.
  • Officials frame the exhibition as a catalyst for greener urban development and stronger heat resilience across the city.
  • First construction is planned for 2029, with select early measures such as a legal bathing area at Kiessee Leuben advancing sooner.
