Jahn, Mack & Partner has been awarded the contract by the Senate Administration for Urban Development of Berlin to perform preliminary studies for defining Müllerstrasse in Berlin-Mitte as a redevelopment area. The intention is to generally promote Müllerstrasse, turning it into an attractive commercial center. In this context, the primary objective is not to renovate and modernize the buildings along this street – the emphasis will be placed on investing into the public spaces while enhancing Müllerstrasse and turning it into a destination shopping street. The highest priority is to involve local residents and stakeholders and secure their participation in the planning process. The package of measures forming part of the redevelopment concept should be identified on site as far as possible, taking account of the various ideas of local residents and stakeholders, in order to then put them in more concrete terms.

On the commission of the Senate Administration for Urban Development of Berlin, Jahn, Mack & Partner prepared the preliminary studies for the definition of a redevelopment area in Karl-Marx-Strasse, in Berlin-Neukölln. The practical failings of the district center in northern Neukölln were to be remedied. Karl-Marx-Strasse, as a young and vibrant center of Berlin, was to become a thriving shopping destination once again. The different stakeholders needed to liaise better with one another. Various measures were taken together to allow an area to develop where people like to spend time, where the urban area is a space in which to truly experience city life, and where many and varied uses are possible. The project was implemented in cooperation with GMA – Market and sales research and Borchert GeoInfo in analyzing retail, with FGS City and Traffic Research and Planning Group for traffic safety, smooth traffic flows and road redevelopment, and with Büro-Hemeier – Ökologische Gutachten und Landschaftsplanung, a company specialized in ecological reports and landscaping projects.

Three of the eighteen Berlin centers contacted by the Senate Administration for Urban Development of Berlin decided to work with Jahn, Mack & Partner in developing integrated concepts for various competition processes. The commission was awarded by the responsible District Authorities in the context of the subsidization program “Active urban quarters and district centers” launched by the German Federal Government and the Länder. Working together with all stakeholders, strengths and weaknesses of the concepts were identified and action lists prepared, a mission statement was drawn up and supporting projects were defined. In the cases of Berliner Strasse in Pankow and Karl-Marx-Strasse in Neukölln, the concepts for these centers were developed based on the work that was already in progress as part of the redevelopment, or that had been done in the preliminary studies for such redevelopment programs. For Müllerstrasse in Mitte, in the Wedding district, the work done had its foundations in a workshop that had been completed previously on this subject. The local administration and the stakeholders in the area had already participated in two events, and their commitment served the project well. All three centers focused on generally promoting their retail structure, while working out their identity and identifying other functions relevant for a municipal center. In cooperation with Borchert Geoinfo for Pankow and Mitte, and with BSG for Neukölln Commissioned by:

The District Authority Mitte of Berlin awarded the contract to Jahn, Mack & Partner to organize and implement a workshop on the centers of the urban quarters at Turmstrasse and Müllenstrasse, giving them new life as retail centers and turning them into a focus of activities in the district. This project was pursued and appropriately documented in collaboration with the district administration, local political bodies and external experts as well as the stakeholders (Karstadt, Hertie, interest groups) located along these streets. As part of the workshop, the strengths and weaknesses of the centers were identified, as were specific needs for action and approaches serving to generally promote them. All of these insights served as the foundation for the strategic work done both in the area as well as at the administrative and political level (see above: Integrated concepts for various competition processes).

Having been charged in 1992 with the preliminary studies, Jahn, Mack & Partner was subsequently also selected as the redevelopment administrator for the Pankow-Wollankstrasse area in Berlin. Our firm was commissioned for this as yet ongoing task by the urban renewal office Büro für Stadterneuerung with implementing the concrete redevelopment measures. This included the most varied projects, executed both as part of the location management for the main center of the area and in the context of assisting with festivals (anniversaries of the market and the Bürgerpark as well as the “boulevard of dreams” event). Further tasks consisted of public relations work, the organization of art projects in vacant spaces, general coordination tasks, consulting the administration and owners on commercial and residential development while providing planning services. Furthermore, preparatory work was done to obtain subsidies for the social infrastructure of the district, and the Alt-Pankow Community of Interests was established as a registered association. At the end of the redevelopment, the focus will be placed on the preparation of urban planning opinion letters regarding the closure of the redevelopment project, which will enable the redevelopment status to be lifted, and on the development of the Berliner Strasse center (which has the potential to become a shopping street while also serving as an access route into central Pankow).
