Located in northern Berlin, the Märkisches Viertel – an enormous housing estate with more than 40,000 residents and the only one of its kind in Germany – is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2004. Its original motto was “urbanity through density” and from the start this planning concept inflamed a debate about this allegedly abortive and inhuman form of urban development. Yet over the years the estate has turned into a lively and functional district. |
