Berlin: Towards an Urban Age

This sixth newspaper accompanied the Urban Age Summit in Berlin, and acted at once as a detailed look at the particularities of urbanism in Berlin, with a separate pull-out section, and as a global framing of the lessons from the first two-years of the Urban Age conference series. Contributions from global experts on public space, city histories, transportation, public space and the open city, and governance, accompanied a global overview data section showing urbanisation around the world, and the first ever Urban Age density diagrams.
