Parks and gardens in Berlin as community spaces

The first part of the article gives the institutional background with information on the German planning system, the position of green planning in it as well as the strategic green planning for Berlin today. Our argument is that, although Berlin institutions have proved to be very flexible in adapting themselves to social change, there is still a highly sophisticated and elaborate legal framework that provides a solid regulatory-normative instrument, inside which urban gardens exist and develop. The second part of the article is a closer, though still superficial, look at five examples of gardens and parks. Using a similar analytical tool for each case (short description, aims, functions, conflicts, institutional interaction) we hope to show similarities and differences that pay some tribute to the vast variety of such spaces. The last part of the article is an attempt to conceptualize the different uses and functions of parks and gardens in Berlin.

CityMobil2 is a multi-stakeholder project co-funded by the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme for research and technological development. CityMobil2 is setting up a pilot platform for automated road transport systems, which will be implemented in several urban environments across Europe. Automated transport systems are made up of vehicles operating without a driver in collective mode. They are deemed to play a useful role in the transport mix as they can supply a good transport service (individual or collective) in areas of low or dispersed demand complementing the main public transport network.
