This lecture discussed 21BB―Model Region Berlin-Brandenburg: Analyses and Visions for the 21st Century by Barbara Hoidn and edited by Wilfried Wang.  Our presenters shared the Berlin-Brandenburg competition entry and discussed the interrelationships between practice, research, and teaching as they brought the project to life. They also shared insights about sustainability principles that should drive urban design beyond green energy and the crucial role of fundamental research of spatial analysis, and their linkage too the Berlin-Brandenburg project.
