Urban development and infrastructure

The Behrens-Ufer on the Spree in Oberschöneweide, the Neue Gartenfeld in Spandau or the ‘Pankower Tor’. Over the next few years, new residential and commercial neighbourhoods will be built in numerous locations in Berlin, changing the face of the city and creating urgently needed new living space. Against the backdrop of the climate, heat and traffic crisis, however, neighbourhood developments in these locations need to be rethought and reorganised.

This includes, among other things, transport concepts that provide close links to public transport and avoid individual car traffic in the neighbourhood. This also includes technologies that generate energy primarily from local sources and create local heating networks.

The event asked: How can climate-neutral urban neighbourhoods be built? What role does sustainable urban development play? What approaches are there for innovative mobility concepts? How will Berlin's heating and power supply infrastructure be modernised in the coming decades?
