Finalisation of the project
The ‘Reallabor Radbahn’ project funded by the federal programme ‘National Urban Development Projects’ ends on 30 September 2024.
We have completed the active test phase with many events and the simultaneous survey.
Then we have evaluated this survey, in which more than 1200 users were questioned, and are therefore in the finalisation phase of our project.
Thank you!
We would like to thank all the people and institutions involved in the project! In particular, the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development, the Senate Department for Urban Development, Building and Housing, the district of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, the project advisory board, our partners and all colleagues involved from science, civil society, business, administration and politics who have accompanied and made the project possible. Last but not least, we would like to thank the local people and, above all, the committed citizens for allowing us to design and build this space together - we hope that it will be accepted and used in a variety of ways.
Publication on the Reallabor Radbahn: An example of integrative urban planning
Over the course of five years, the Radbahn real-world laboratory has shown how complex and challenging integrative urban planning can be in practice. The final publication (in German language) heds light on the highs and lows of the project, from the development of the idea to its realisation and evaluation.
The publication provides valuable insights for future projects:
- How can innovative ideas be turned into reality?
- What role does citizen participation play in the design of public spaces?- How can conflicts between different interests be resolved?
The publication provides a comprehensive overview of the results of the project and can be downloaded here in German.
Film ‘Radbahn Berlin - a vision becomes reality’
A brief film was made about our Reallabor Radbahn project!
It shows our Radbahn project from its beginnings and creative ideas in 2019 to the realisation of this vision - i.e. the opening of the test site under the Kreuzberg viaduct in April 2024. Initial sketches with innovative proposals for the space under the underground and what has now become of it in summer 2024 can be seen. Various companions, project partners and employees also have their say.
