Berlin is undergoing various urban development and renovation projects across several districts. In Marzahn-Hellersdorf, feasibility studies are exploring the conversion of a former psychiatric building into roughly 100 apartments for students, trainees, and healthcare workers.

In Treptow-Köpenick, the renovation of Treptower Park has finished after nearly thirty years, featuring updated park furniture and new plantings. Meanwhile, in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, the Danneckerstraße project intends to use the ‘sponge city’ principle to manage rainwater through unsealing and greening the street. Additionally, the Skygreen project at Hallesches Ufer plans to replace an administrative building with a six-story wood-hybrid office ensemble containing green spaces.
