Welcome to 2050: Could Berlin’s future look like this?
By
Neha Kumari
Foreword: While the character Emilia is fictional, this vision of life in Berlin in 2050 is shaped by current scientific insights and modeled projections for urban development.
Emilia wakes to a brilliant glare bouncing off her neighbor’s solar panels. She only moved to Treptow, a neighborhood in the southeast of Berlin last week, and still needs curtains. She makes a mental note to check the nearest secondhand shop.
