briefed by the Senate Department for Urban Development and the
Environment on Berlin’s strategic plan, Urban Development Concept

strategy. The delegation also attended a briefing and visited Potsdamer
Platz, which was one of the most well-known large scale inner city
redevelopment projects in Europe in the 1990s. With the support of the local
authorities, visits to several renowned revitalisation and heritage conservation
Tempelhof Airport, Berlin projects including Tempelhof Airport, the Horseshoe Estate - Hufeisensiedlung and
Reichstag were also arranged.

insights from the Dutch and German counterparts on the latest development in
strategic planning, spatial planning and heritage conservation, and exchanged
experience and ideas on how the integration of different land uses such as
residential, market and recreational could help meet the needs of the community.
