In Berlin and New York City, it is all about housing!

40 rising leaders/fellows from New York City across design, development, policy, law, advocacy, and journalism came to Berlin in September to uncover cutting-edge housing practice and to build bridges with peer cities.

TSPA supported the Urban Design Forum to bring together stakeholders from across Berlin's housing scene: What unique solutions have Berliners found? What are the best practices for accommodating growth while also preserving the city’s polycentric structure, social mix, and green spaces?

We are grateful to be invited to take part in this important exchange, thanks to Daniel McPhee and Stacey Anderson of the Urban Design Forum project for putting together this successful city exchange! And a shoutout to all participants and supporters.
