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.
