The creation of a promenade ring around the old town center is a priority planning goal of Dresden. The course of the former fortification is to be experienced again in the cityscape and define the outer edge of the old town.

At the same time, a green belt with a high quality of stay is to be created around the old town.

The western section of the promenade is given clear spatial edges, which are formed by a generous granite frame and a surrounding row of plane trees. The former fortress moat becomes comprehensible by slightly lowered, parterre-like meadow areas.

The former characteristic squares, which rhythmically structured the ring around Dresden, are clearly worked out again and form an urban spatial framework.

This includes the Southern Post Office Square and the Dippoldiswalder Square in the planning area. They are designed as entrance squares to the western promenade section. In addition to a newly designed fountain at Südlicher Postplatz, a historic bowl fountain will be rebuilt at Dippoldiswalder Platz.
