»Recognising different forms of mobility«

»Berlin’s main roads connect Brandenburg with the city’s different centres, enabling movement of produce and people by foot, bicycle, car, bus or train. The streets are distinctive places to live, with their squares, shops, markets and cafes. They act as a vibrant resource that serves residents and those in surrounding neighbourhoods. 

Urban and transport planning, as we understand them, recognise different forms of mobility. People must get from A to B, and need suitable stopping and loading points; while people want to live comfortably, children should be able to get to school on their own. People live their lives along our streets. We must approach the city with understanding, consideration, and by prioritising the vulnerable. We need green spaces, trees and efficient drainage to balance the heat and rainfall, and to ensure the highest quality of life.«
