Abstract: *World Cities: Berlin* offers an in-depth exploration of the city’s history, current identity, and future prospects.

The book examines alternative historical scenarios and contrasts them with Berlin’s present urban landscape, while also envisioning its future. With detailed maps, an architects’ index, and an extensive bibliography, this work provides a thorough analysis of Berlin’s past, present, and potential as a leading global city.
