> the complete programme
Hellersdorf as keystone of the great promise of GDR to solve the problem of housing until 1990, was completed as the GDR dissolved.
30 years after there should be enough distance to draw up a summery of the promises of the "Socialist City" and its surviving parts in a new society.
What were the ideas and images of the ones involved?
Which modells stayed unrealised? Which rolls do such settlements play in a future good urban life? What has to change?
How do we want and how are we able to live an urban life?
In approximatley 20 years Hellersdorf for itself will reach the status of a metropolis. How is the city prepared for this?
Which institutions are needed, which possible?
A project of Büro Schwimmer and the
NGBK.
