28-4. BERLIN FROM THE WALL TO THE FUTURE

In a church we saw a picture of the house Ida and Hans live in. It was right next to the Wall. Now the Wall has gone and Berlin sparkles with ideas for the future. In Kreutzberg Green Car was testing a house with a lift so it could park inside the flat. The same day Hans took us to "Beta-haus" a sought-after office-community for start-ups. Here we talked with Christian Geiss from Daimler Benz in charge of the introduction of a car-share project in cities world-wide. In Amsterdam Daimler starts with electric Smart-cars: less co2 and less m2. And Daimler gets customers among young people that would not buy a car. Berlin has the history up close, but also room for the future and that makes the city so fascinating.
