Amsterdam's City Council Unveils New Master Plan, Spanning Entirety of 2022
In a significant move, the city council of Dresden has decided to support event organisers in 2024 by covering the increased costs caused by the cancellations and postponements of events in 2022. This financial assistance plan aims to help event organisers manage the economic aftermath from earlier disruptions.
The higher costs for the concession contract of the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion are a result of Dynamo's non-promotion. To cover these costs, the city council has set aside funds freed up by the cancellation and postponement of events such as Ironman and Elbhangfest.
This decision does not affect Dresden's austerity course due to the confirmed budget freeze. The city council adopted the "Masterplan Prohlis 2030" in the evening, which includes the construction of more sports facilities and a health and advice centre in Prohlis, among other measures.
The "Masterplan Prohlis 2030" aims to increase social diversity, strengthen social cohesion, improve educational opportunities, and enhance the attractiveness of Prohlis. It also includes plans for more smaller housing units.
The city council did not discuss a restriction or lifting of the budget freeze in relation to the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion concession contract. Moreover, the CDU's amendment proposal to exclude sports from the budget freeze failed to gain a majority.
The city council has not yet decided on how to help event organisers for 2024, and the operational details of this support program remain unspecified. However, Dresden continues to host large-scale events like the upcoming World Transplant Games 2025, indicating ongoing support for significant event infrastructure and organisation in the city.
Innovative event management companies in Germany, such as Vivenu based in Düsseldorf, offer technology solutions for event organisers that could play a role in future event planning, though this is not Dresden-specific. If you need precise mechanisms or guidelines, consulting official Dresden municipal announcements or contacting the city’s cultural/event office directly would be recommended.
The city council's financial assistance plan for event organisers in 2024, aimed at managing the economic aftermath from earlier disruptions, also includes setting aside funds to cover the increased costs for the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion concession contract. In addition to this, the "Masterplan Prohlis 2030" includes the construction of more sports facilities and a health and advice centre, which aligns with the city council's focus on sports and general news.
