Today.
This is how we protect our cities today.

One base system. Different functions. Different places.
The Collection.
Nine modules. One system.
Berlin-Cube combines safety, climate adaptation, energy, digitalisation and amenity in one modular platform. Not a single module takes the spotlight — the interplay does.
Which goals does Berlin-Cube support?
Ten political goals. One infrastructure contributing to all of them.
Climate adaptation
Resilience
Biodiversity
Smart City
Mobility
Public safety
Digitalisation
Accessibility
Urban development
Amenity
Impact matrix · political target picture, not a funding-programme mapping.
Technology.
Clean separation. No unproven claims.

Kein Ergebnis vor dem Test. Fakten statt Versprechen.
Sicherheit muss man nicht sehen. Man soll sie erleben.
Financing.
Berlin-Cube combines multiple financing components. Not as a promise that every project finances itself — but as a toolbox.
Municipal investment
The foundation — budgets, special funds, investment programmes.
Subsidy programmes
EU, federal, regional — safety, climate, digital.
Sponsoring
Location-based partnerships with clear governance.
Advertising surfaces
Digital media and information surfaces in the urban realm.
Service company
One contract partner instead of fragmented responsibilities.
Care
Continuous operation, maintenance and spare parts.
Modernisation
Retrofits, new modules, new functions across the lifecycle.
Depending on location, individual components can be weighted differently. No single component stands alone.
What cities receive funding for today
Climate adaptation & heat resilience
CO₂ sequestration, shading, cooling.
Sponge city & stormwater management
Capture and reuse rainwater.
Urban greening & biodiversity
Planting, habitats, urban ecology.
Smart City & digitalisation
Sensors, data, connectivity.
Charging infrastructure & mobility
E-bike, charging points, micro-mobility.
Public safety & vehicle mitigation
Tested impact protection.
Which programmes apply in each case must be assessed project-by-project — we support this.
