A distinctive quarter

In recent years, a mixed-use, vibrant neighbourhood with distinctive, high-quality urban spaces has already been created here. It is located in the immediate vicinity of Charité, the seat of government, the main railway station and the cultural site Hamburger Bahnhof, the Museum of Natural History and the Futurium. A new part of Berlin is emerging with its own urban design, which will contribute to sustainable urban development with new building typologies, technologies and forms of urban life. The different functional areas of living, working, culture and leisure are linked to form a lively urban neighbourhood, with Heidestraße as the central urban space. A pedestrian-friendly network of streets and paths, as well as attractive public spaces and open areas, will connect the area with the surrounding urban spaces. The quarter will be optimally accessible by both public transport and car. Thanks to the nearby main railway station, there will also be connections to long-distance and regional trains and a fast connection to Berlin's airports.
