The Berlin Tenement and the City

by Katharina Borsi

The Berlin Tenement and the City describes the development of the Berlin tenement from 1860 to 1914, showing how it became both Berlin's standard housing type and its principal urban component - the city's ubiquitous typology. In contrast to earlier historical categorisations of the tenement as a "rental barrack", here it is described as an evolving typology that dynamically responded to the demands of the city and urban reform.
