Housing in Berlin: hardly any other topic preoccupies minds in the capital as much as the questions of rents, new construction, neighborhood development and densification. Primarily due to the continuing population increase, the demand for housing exceeds the supply. Rising housing costs, conflicting interests in the real estate sector and accusations of insufficient new construction characterize the debate. In addition, overarching issues such as digitization, environmental protection, and social inclusion are having an impact on the question of how we want to live in the city in the future.

The format

We transcribe and evaluate our trialogues® social science. The result is published here in the detailed report "Housing in Berlin: Perspectives for the Growing City". It contains arguments and their justifications of all trialogue®-participants and relates them to each other. In the long term, the interfaces between science and urban society will serve as points of reference for initiating transdisciplinary projects in the city.

The Trialog®

Our third Trialog® "Housing in Berlin: Perspectives for the Growing City" as part of the New Urban Agenda Berlin project addressed the question of how housing in Berlin could be designed sustainably for all citizens*. More than 80 participants from science, politics and administration, business, and organized civil society discussed pressing challenges and options for action on December 07, 2018.
