Resumen
The Berlin Reader draws together already published and unpublished work that
best illuminates urban transformations in Berlin since the fall of the wall. It
aims to provide an international audience with an overview of the most central
debates and developments the city has experienced in the last two decades. We
have included both strictly scholarly and non-scholarly writings, thus enabling
a varied range of perspectives.
The texts are arranged in four chapters, each focusing upon a specific period in the development of Berlin. All chapters include an introductory section
by the editors which sets the texts in context and discusses how the individual
papers fit into broader academic and political debates.
By collecting widely dispersed yet central writings, the Berlin Reader is an
essential resource for students of urban development and transformation in
one of the most interesting and important metropolises in Europe. The volume
will have a widespread appeal for urban sociologists, planners, and political
scientists alike.
This book owes its greatest debt to the authors whose work we have reprinted
and to the translaters. In addition to these, a number of people and institutions
have crucially contributed to making this volume possible. We would like to
thank the Humboldt University Berlin, the Leibniz Institute for Regional Development and Structural Planning in Erkner (IRS) and the Rosa Luxemburg
Foundation who supported the project both financially and with personal resources. We are also grateful to Kerstin Wegel and Carmen Elisabeth Liebich
for their practical support. Thanks are also due to Adrienne Gerhäuser (fotoagentur version) who provided the photograph for the book cover.
