The increasing number of cars in Berlin, which has increased by eight percent to 1.2 million cars in the past ten years, presents the city with the challenge of a possible traffic collapse. In the current episode of the future podcast "Futur B" there is a discussion about how traffic in Berlin can be mastered in the next 30 years and the traffic collapse can be prevented.

Christoph Golbeck, owner of a motor vehicle workshop in Friedrichshain, has already taken measures to advance the turnaround. Although he has not been selling cars for two years, he continues to advise its customers with regard to possible alternatives to driving, such as e-bikes, subway tickets and car sharing.

Network of urban villages

The Berlin architect Max Schwitalla goes one step further and advocates to completely redesign the city. He designs futuristic residential areas associated with flying buses to enable short distances and thus reducing traffic. His vision is a city of the future, consisting of a network of urban villages in which all everyday destinations can be reached on foot, by bike or e-bike. These villages should be connected by public transport and are largely car -free.
