Urbane Resilienz

Wege zur robusten, adaptiven und zukunftsfähigen Stadt

The "Urban Resilience: Pathways to a Robust, Adaptive, and Future-Proof City" project was developed by 14 Bachelor students from Technische Universität Berlin (B. Sc. Urban and Regional Planning) to explore strategies for enhancing urban resilience in response to social and economic challenges. The work focused on two areas in Berlin-Neukölln, Harzer Kiez and Weiße Siedlung, applying methods such as site analyses, data studies, and strategic planning. The goal was to create integrated concepts to strengthen urban infrastructure and social cohesion in the face of crises.
