The district: Johannstadt
The district chosen for the project pilot is Johannstadt, located to the east of the city centre, following the Elbe Course on the left. The area is one of the densely built inner-city areas of Dresden. With regard to the socio-demographic composition of the residential population, Johannstadt differs from the Dresden average. Indicators point to tense social conditions in the area. In recent years, important research and development institutions from the field of biotechnology have been established in Johannstadt. This complements the competencies of the University Medical Center Dresden and other institutes of the TU Dresden.
