Entrant‘s description

A city administration should be as extensive as the entire functionally connected urban space. The formation of Greater Berlin in 1920 was for this reason an important and essential step. The costs of CO2 emissions are passed on to future generations, so energy prices today are low and driving a car disproportionately cheap. Too few homes are being built in Berlin, so real-estate prices per square metre are much higher than in the Brandenburg countryside. Large sums of money are being spent on infrastructure for cars; this stimulates further suburbanisation. The combination of non-sustainable-­energy pricing and construction of housing and infrastructure in the wrong places is making Berlin and Brandenburg increasingly interconnected. A sustainable world has compact, liveable cities and plenty of room for nature. Such cities are not compatible with unrestricted automobility. Abundant room for nature is not compatible with urban sprawl or with countryside permeated with infrastructure. Berlin’s sprawl into Brandenburg is undesirable; it must be resisted. A CO2 tax should make today’s car-users pay for future costs that they cause. Suitable homes need to be built in Berlin in quantities sufficient to ensure that the price per square metre falls to the level of prices in the outlying suburbs. Investment in mobility should, at all costs, benefit cyclists and public transport.

Entrant‘s description

Green Corridors and Boundary Strips
The future of the city and its environs is in the hands of numerous individual municipalities and districts. This is a result of how Brandenburg has developed over time. Berlin came into existence as a bridge between the twin cities of Berlin and Cölln and the villages of Brandenburg. Today, it is growing into a metropolitan region – a mosaic is coming together. This is fuelled by the impetus coming from the city as an engine of growth. The construction of the railways through the Margraviate of Brandenburg was, on the con­trary, centrally managed and did not stop at the state borders. We profit from this excellent early infrastructure to this day. James Hobrecht’s construction of the sewerage system required the inclusion of areas outside the city; urban utilities were set up; hospitals were relocated to the forested areas. In the future ­Berlin’s new airport will be an example of successful cooperation between Berlin and Brandenburg. One of the next tasks, we think, will be to keep routes free for a new maglev that will form a ring railway around Berlin. However, for further development of the metropolitan region a strong model is required to manage growth.

More Journey than Goal: 50 Years of Process Design
When we talk about a vision for the Berlin-Brandenburg region 50 years from now, as planners we must ask ourselves what we know and so can make predictions, and what unknown developments we wish to help shape. The Berlin-­Brandenburg metropolitan region and the Brandenburg landscape can be divided into three physical zones. The first is Berlin proper, which is densely built and structured by independent mixed-use neighbourhoods. The second zone encompasses the urban landscape, which expanded during the twentieth century. It encompasses a kaleidoscope of urban planning guidelines, individual housing preferences, and economic developments. This area has stretched into the surrounding landscape and is concentrated along the transport routes. It is typified by its direct proximity to Berlin and it constitutes the metropolitan area around the core city. In the landscape of the Margraviate of Brandenburg region, the third zone, there are villages and small towns that have come together to form larger rural communities. The region is marked by its dichotomy of isolated villages in the landscape and the administrative and func­tional interdependencies of the municipalities and districts. Looking back over the past 100 years, we can state with confidence that large green spaces and bodies of water are stable elements of the area’s physical character. Infrastructures and transport radials or corridors also guide urban expansion. Both the metropolitan and rural areas are exemplified by different functional networks and administrative structures. Three factors are crucial to the Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan region’s development as an important metropolitan region in the future. The unpaved areas and natural areas must be protected and qualified, and their value for food production, recreation, ­energy generation, and climate protection recognised.

Entrant‘s description

Water Landscape – The topography of the Berlin area was shaped by shifting glaciers and river courses. The rural landscape is shaped by agricultural fields and nature reserves such as forests. The Spree meanders in a vibrant network of rivers and tributaries. Some of them are natural, others have been created or are artificially regulated. The abundance of different conditions created by the flowing water produced the urban structures and their different functions in the respective regions.

In our contribution to the Urban Planning Competition for Berlin-Brandenburg 2020/2070, we would like to present three project-oriented strategies. These introduce central urban and spatial aspects into the discussion on the development of the Berlin-Brandenburg region into a metropolitan region. The proposal aims to demonstrate possible ways of defining existing regional and urban qualities, to further develop existing spatial structures, and to stop the current suburbanisation processes.

Entrant‘s description

What is it that makes Berlin-Brandenburg so unusual and one of the greatest metropolises in the world? The diversity of its architecture and neighbourhoods, typified by the various eras in the history of urban development, comes to mind. The closed perimeter-block structure from the Hobrecht Plan, the modernist buildings, the socialist urban planning, the architecture according to the Critical Reconstruction approach, as well as the villages, expanses of countryside, endless pine forests, and lake landscape of Brandenburg, all contribute equally to the quality and unique character of this metropolitan region. We do not want to ignore or question this, and therefore reject both a tabula rasa outlook and utopian fictions for Berlin-Brandenburg in favour of a ‘learning from the cities’ approach. We are convinced that our strategy of appropriation and empirical form is ideally suited to demonstrate a more organic, sustainable, and liveable perspective for the development of the city and the entire region. The aim is to find proven solutions with which found typologies can be gently transformed and further developed.

Entrant‘s description

The agglomeration of Berlin developed according to a classic scenario: a multi-­pointed star, whose radials extend along the main traffic axes, absorbing neighbouring cities in the process. These cities can be developed into re­gional centres and establish a polycentric system in the Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan region. In the first phase we identified the following main principles of agglomeration development in the region: the compact development of local centres – small towns that lie on the main traffic arteries due to their individual functional characteristics; the development of nature reserves and recreational areas (green belts), as well as the development of the ­area’s regional tourism potential through the creation of a ‘Golden Ring’ in the ­Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan region – a route that connects cities with cultural and historical heritage sites; and the development of the corresponding tourism infrastructure. One of the important elements of a future re­gional agglomeration structure is the system of local centres situated around Berlin proper, as well as goods production and distribution hubs along the main traffic routes between Eastern and Western Europe.

Stella – Constellation Berlin Brandenburg 2070 – Ideography of a Constellation – A Contribution to Fictional Science
I/III Metropolis. It is the year 2070.
The old city no longer had any borders, only peripheries. The peripheries increasingly took over the landscapes. The old city lost its equilibrium. A new phenomenon emerges: a city with borders. The city grows within these borders. The city of cities grows within its cities: metropolis. The metropolis knows only the borders of its cities. Nature separates the cities: landscape. Landscapes connect the cities. The cities regain their closed form. A city has a form. A city is predominately shaped by its interior space. The urban landscape is overwhelmed, because it has become an undifferentiated and un-­designed mixture of city and countryside.

Intensifying the Master Plan
Berlin’s star-shaped settlement structure is enhanced by other overarching ­ideas. These include:
Plug-in Region: an optimally developed and equipped network of settlement centres that promotes relationships with the surrounding areas and relieves the burden on the main centre. The infrastructure on the development axes from Berlin to the cities of Hamburg, Leipzig/Halle, and Frankfurt/Oder is upgraded; this radiates into the surrounding area.
