THE STREET AS LIVING SPACE IN AN 18TH CENTURY CITY STRUCTURE; THE EXAMPLE OF WEST BERLIN
DIE STRASSE ALS LEBENSRAUM IN STADTSTRUKTUREN DES 18 JAHRHUNDERTS DARGESTELLT AM BEISPIEL VON BERLIN (WEST)
Berlin is a conglomerate of 4 cities, so it has in effect 4 ancient centres. It has 2.4 million inhabitants, 600000 car owners and public transport carrying 800000 people. These factors make Berlin a difficult place in which to live. Measures are taken to better this on the basis of 4 requirements: that traffic is necessary, the quality of living, safety and the protection of the town's monuments. Pedestrian precincts do not succeed in Berlin, but areas with traffic restraint are successful for pedestrians and also for business. Making drivers and pedestrians live happily together is the aim of the traffic planners in Berlin. For the covering abstract see TRIS 385386. (TRRL)
