Images of the New Berlin Book

Berlin is perhaps the most exciting cosmopolis in the Western world today—since Germany's reunification, this newly re-minted capital is experiencing a maelstrom of change, becoming as central and as fascinating as New York, London, Paris, or Tokyo. In addition to introducing the reader to such landmarks as Charlottenburg Palace and the Brandenburg Gate, "The New Berlin: Images" presents the city's building projects of today and tomorrow: Potsdamer Platz, the new Olympic Stadium, and the Berlin-Brandenburg Airport, among others. These projects show us a city in transformation, giving us a glimpse at what one of the capitals of the 21st century will be like. This richly illustrated guide to Berlin's urban panorama—featuring over 140 images in color and black and white—is an essential document of the past, present and future of this remarkable and diverse metropolis.
