Berlin – Architecture and Urban Development

Experience urban development through Berlin’s city models: After a brief introduction to the city’s historical development, we will show you the rapid development of architecture and urban planning since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The major projects of the new capital, such as Potsdamer Platz, the reinvention of Friedrichstraße, the new government district around the Reichstag building, the new embassy buildings and Europacity, shaped the years after reunification. But Berlin is also characterised by small-scale diversity: sustainable and circular construction, as well as the avoidance of building material waste, are the major issues of the future in times of climate change. The re-evaluation of water management in the sense of a ‘sponge city’ plays a major role in numerous new urban districts.
