Conceptualisation of BBI
July 11, 2006
The whole conceptualisation and planning process in the construction of the new Berlin Brandenburg International Airport (BBI) took several years to materialise. The long drawn process involved active collaboration between the various organisations and the affected residents. Environment, resettlement and economic issues were seriously considered before putting the airport plan into action.

It seems like a really admirable project. Especially the part where:
“The resettlement locations and the new houses were not only being designed on the planners drawing boards, the essential parts were being determined by the citizens themselves…
The airport-related resettlements clearly differ from a classical building project in which investors and communities are the only partners.
…the high acceptance rate of the resettlement by the Diepenseers and Selchowers has to be viewed as a success.”
It’s great that the German govt would actually take pains to work out an acceptable solution with the residents.
