creator: Maślak, Maciej
description: Berlin was uniquely divided between two countries in the 20th century, with the two parts completely fenced off in the years 1961-1989. Separate paths of development can to a certain extent can still be seen today on the map of Berlin. This research aims to contribute to bridging the gap between two parts of Berlin and give direction to future sustainable urban policies in Berlin. This study uses short surveys with qualitative and quantitative data to assess how Berliners view various aspects of transport and accessibility in their vicinity. Quantitative method of street counting is used as a complementary method to study the choices of transport that Berliners make. This research focuses on former centres of West and East Berlin, to study places of similar role, character and importance for Berlin. It is found that the way people travel in and out of West and East Berlin areas varies. However, the overall satisfaction with mobility situation in both areas is similar due to different factors  affecting it, such as walkability or preferences, complementing each other.
