Throughout its turbulent history, Berlin has been an urban laboratory. From Karl-Friedrich Schinkel’s 19th century planning to speculative tenement blocks, modernist “Siedlungen”, the international building exhibitions of the 1950s and 1980s, the transformation to the capital after the German reunification, to recent regeneration projects, the city has continually experimented with new approaches addressing changing urban issues. This year’s Berlin study trip will focus on six exemplary urban areas, that can advance our understanding of how contemporary cities developed and respond to current challenges and opportunities.
