  • Spree Riverbanks for Everyone! What Remains of “Sink Mediaspree”?1
    Spree Riverbanks for Everyone! What Remains of “Sink Mediaspree”?1 Jan Dohnke In recent years, the protests against the large-scale investment project “Media- spree” in Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain have repoliticized the public debate on ur- ban development more than any other event in Berlin. In the context of urban development that is increasingly dominated by neoliberal concepts in the wake of German reunification, the “Sink Mediaspree” initiative has been especially effective in putting fundamental questions about the sense and purpose of the urban development in Berlin back on the agenda. In a manner that drew the wider public’s attention, this movement also succeeded in challenging “entre- preneurial urban policy” in general. In fact, the planning decisions that have provoked citizens’ protest since 2006 contained many elements that seam- lessly fit into Berlin’s neoliberal restructuring. The commitment to large-scale, investor-friendly projects at the expense of local organisational structures and needs in order to create locational advantages for the city in the international competition to attract investors; advancing privatisation and commercialisation to the disadvantage of the broader public good; and, overall, the increasingly one-dimensional orientation of planning and land utilisation toward economic targets. In the light of the state of Berlin’s difficult financial situation, development is largely expected to come from the private sector, whose investments facili- tate construction projects and, on this basis, are supposed to create new jobs. Apart from marketing strategies, Berlin (like many other cities) also draws on particular incentive strategies, e.g. the affordable provision of infrastructure, public subsidies, tax concessions, and a form of planning that privileges major investors by means of its large-scale and dense nature.

  • Megacities – Megarisks Trends and Challenges for Insurance and Risk Management Traffic and Spatial Problems in Megacities Pose a Special Challenge for City Planners
    Knowledge series Megacities – Megarisks Trends and challenges for insurance and risk management Traffic and spatial problems in megacities pose a special challenge for city planners. These problems can only be overcome by designing unconventional structures, as illustrated here by the city freeway in Shanghai. Earthquake catastrophes have shown, however, that bridges and flyovers are often highly prone to losses. Munich Re, Megacities – Megarisks Foreword Global urbanisation and rural-to-urban migration are among the megatrends of our time – together with population growth, the overexploitation of natural resources, environmental pollution and globalisation – that will have the most lasting impact on the future of mankind. However, as with other developments, even a model for success – as cities undoubtedly are in view of their positive influence on culture, economic activity, technologies and networks – will even- tually reach its limits and, once the negative effects exceed the positive ones, necessitate a change in paradigm. A megacity is a prime example of such a critical stage of development: an organism with more than ten million living cells gradually risks being suffo- cated by the problems it has itself created – like traffic, environmental damage and crime. This is especially true where growth is too rapid and unorganic, as is the case in most megacities in emerging and developing countries. As the trend towards megacities gathers pace, opportunities and risks go hand in hand and undergo major changes over time. Munich Re therefore began to consider these problems at an early stage, beginning in the 1990s and gradually examining a series of important aspects in its publications.

Ein Hochhaus hebt sich dabei deutlich sichtbar von allen anderen ab: der Messeturm. Von Stararchitekt Helmut Jahn geplant und von 1988 bis 1991 errichtet, setzte das damals höchste Gebäude Europas eine Benchmark und ist noch heute ein Wahrzeichen, das einen besonderen Platz im Bild der Stadt und in den Herzen der Menschen einnimmt. Kein Wunder, denn der Messeturm hat Außergewöhnliches zu bieten: Eine ikonische Form, die an Some are known, Art-déco-Legenden wie das Chrysler-Building oder Empire State Building erinnert. Eine fantastische Lage. Die Exklusivi- tät einer eigenen Postleitzahl. Und das spannende Format eines Klassikers, der jetzt ein neues Kapitel aufschlägt. Regardless of whether you approach Frankfurt from the motorway, look out of the window of an aeroplane, ONLY ONE or cross one of the bridges by train, the first thing you will see is the skyline and its commanding presence.

The number of employees on the government’s furlough scheme reached 6.83 million in April 2020.

In Germany, never before have so many office employees worked remotely as in recent months and it appears common sense, that this experience will further boost digitalization in Germany and will have a lasting impact on the way work is distributed between office space and alternative spaces, EUR 37.77 including homes, cafés and local office hubs.

    Real Estate Company Rating Outlook for German office market Price (EUR) PT (EUR) Potential (%) What’s ahead for the office market in Germany? alstria office REIT Buy 12.20 16.10 32.0% The COVID-19 crisis has changed our lives profoundly in many ways. While some parts of the economy have fared well, others faced tremendous difficulties with a sudden DIC Asset Buy decline in demand leading to zero revenue generation – a crisis impact not seen before. 10.24 19.00 85.5% For the real estate market, the consequences of such changes vary across sectors and UBM Development Buy in the degree of visibility and thus, in terms of future outcomes. While the residential 31.00 47.00 51.6% sector developed very well, the distressed retail sector remains under pressure. The office sector however, has not provided a very clear picture of the future and after taking a closer look at the prevailing driving forces, we share our insights and expectations in this report. Investment market: The different stimulus packages should ensure that investor confidence in the German investment market, and particularly in the office market, continues to strengthen. With this, the transaction market is expected to pick up again. Rental market: The incipient economic recovery should have a positive effect on the rental market and, despite all the uncertainties, we expect a moderate recovery in the coming months. Vacancy: As tenants are expected to remain cautions, with many adopting a “wait-and- see” approach as the pandemic continues, vacancies should increase slightly towards the end of the year as new office space comes onto market.
