Since the middle of the 18th century the Neumarkt place is the visual figurehead of the metropolis on the river Elbe. Now, after been in an awkward state for so many years, Dresden's central place is being restored. In the area between the Dresden castle and the famous Frauenkirche a new urban design following historical archetypes is under construction.

Since summer of 2005 cityscope documents the ongoing construction work with a 210° vista. Located on the roof of the nearby Kulturpalast, a multi-module camera system shoots panoramic pictures on an hourly schedule.

The online presentation on the web invites the visitor to a journey through time and space of the Neumarkt's metamorphosis.
