Holzmarkt Garden
In recent decades, nature has been systematically pushed out of our cities. The reasons for this are diverse and have evolved over time.
Many people have followed this trend, voluntarily or involuntarily, into the surrounding countryside. For those who have stayed behind, this has resulted in dissatisfaction: more and more sealed, noisy, hot and dusty neighbourhoods, a lack of identification and a significantly lower quality of life.
It therefore makes sense to do everything we can to bring nature back into the city as much as possible.
Garden by Ostbanhof
What if we put gardens, parks, urban forests, tiny forests and different landscapes at the centre of our thinking and planning and let the city, the streets and the buildings develop around them? In this way, we could set new standards for Berlin‘s ecological transformation process. Let‘s start this ‘experiment’ at Holzmarkt and create an urban garden there – a real laboratory for the CO2-neutral city.
