At the symposium “The Importance of Climate Change for Urban Life” with Karsten Schwanke, one thing became very clear:
The facts have been on the table for decades.
What is missing is not more insight – but decisive action.
📍Berlin does not have a knowledge deficit, according to Schwanke, but an implementation problem – and this affects not only politics, but all of us:
🔹 Citizens
🔹 Urban planners
🔹 Architects
🔹 Project developers
🔹 and yes, even us real estate professionals
His clear message:
👉 City centers urgently need more greenery
👉 Heat protection is not a “nice-to-have,” but a matter of survival
👉 Europe will also be massively affected by climate change – heat records, altered current systems, and the question of where to flee when it’s hot everywhere?
Particularly impressive were the examples from Copenhagen and Sanaa, where architecture meets climate resilience – visionary yet implementable.
Thanks to the Stiftung urban future forum e.V. for the invitation and the valuable discussion. There is still much to do – and it begins with every single project we are responsible for.
