Since one post about Paris isn't enough, I'm following up immediately with a second. As I spend more and more time here, I can’t help but constantly compare Paris to my hometown, Berlin. Both cities share so much history, yet they are completely different. The most obvious point of comparison is scale: Grand Paris—not the city proper—has a similar geographic size to the current city limits of Berlin. However, while Berlin has around 3.9 million people, Grand Paris has roughly 7.1 million inhabitants. Similarly, while the population within Berlin’s Ringbahn is around 1 million, there are over 2 million people living within the official limits of Paris. You truly feel that density every day. As someone who plans to research urbanism, a city with a population density of 20,000 people/km² is a fascinating case study. I want to explore how it affects human psychology, the economy, and mobility. Since future generations tend to migrate away from the countryside and toward large urban areas, I will be able to witness and analyze significant trends here—results I hope to share with Berlin and Ulaanbaatar one day. I am finally in a place that feels like a true metropolis, unlike Berlin, which often feels like a collection of mid-sized towns to me (largely because Paris is monocentric while Berlin is polycentric). With the great contributions of Anne Idalgo and now Emmanuel Grégoire, I'm looking very optimistic into the future! May Berlin and Ulaanbaatar have such progressive mayors one day too!

In between jobs, in between projects, in between cities, in between space. This year definitely counts as my year of preparations and patience. Greetings from Paris.

I'm still kind of waiting for the belated paycheck of the marketing-department of the city of Berlin. But I guess the city is just too broke. Broke and attractive.

Today, I was able to do a thing that I've been craving for a while: cycling care-free through neighborhoods where I've never been before. And I gotta say, Tempelhof is f*cking amazing! I finally finished a few deadlines. Now it's time to start with the things that I had in mind for a long time. Stay tuned! #030

Due to an amazing vernissage, I decided to take a time-travel trip to Brandenburg, and I regret not having come here earlier. Not far from the Oder River lies the site of the very first planned socialist town of the GDR. Eisenhüttenstadt—literally translated as “ironworks town”—was designed and constructed as one of the earliest attempts to implement the idea of a utopian workers’ town in the aftermath of World War II. The result is a beautiful city that reminded me very much of the neighborhood I grew up in: Friedrichshain. It felt like walking through a place where almost every building resembles the workers’ palaces of Karl-Marx-Allee. Once a bustling industrial town, its population and importance declined, and many of the additional panel buildings are now set to be demolished. As a final homage, one abandoned tower has been turned into an art gallery. It was one of the best galleries I’ve ever visited, even if only temporarily. Thank you @martinmaleschka ! Twelve storeys of great works are open to the public until the end of this weekend. I’ll definitely grab some history and architecture nerds and come back to thoroughly explore the urban fabric. 🏢
