SMART CITY BERLIN - ON A PATH TO THE FUTURE

For years, Berlin has been in the midst of a transformation process, including a large number of projects that have already passed through planning and development. The vision: a smart, connected, post-fossil and resilient capital. This has involved numerous challenges and a need to confront the consequences of current phenomena such as climate change, energy and mobility transition.

Likewise, the requirements for all manner of infrastructure as well as demographic and administrative conditions are increasing, which necessitates new forms of collaboration alongside new ways of thinking and acting. Berlin wants to be fit for the future - and is using smart and targeted innovative technologies, products and services to consequently achieve significantly higher standards of living with the same or fewer resources.
