OverviewBerlin has benefited significantly from German reunification.However, some persistent problems have accompanied the gains since the fall of the Berlin Wall. These problems include high unemployment, loss of population, and a declining industrial base. Disparities of this scale introduce fractures in a city which in other respects has recovered its unity. This study examines and makes proposals for distressed areas in both the inner-city core and in peripheral areas where there is a need for targeted regeneration measures. Such measures would help integrate immigrant communities, improve educational opportunities, address youth issues, invest in property development and support the growth of small and medium-size enterprises. Building on previous urban renaissance studies, this report adds a new dimension to the lessons learned about urban regeneration through a focus on youth, migration and identity to help create and exploit Berlin's under-developed assets.The betterment of distressed areas in Berlin will be a vital ingredient in the capital's overall strategy for economic and social development, with policies in this area fully integrated into city-wide perspectives.
