Cities have evolved into a new landscape for learning. Following the trend of global urbanisation, in the years to come, many families will be living in densely populated cities. By 2050, two-thirds of the world’s population are expected to live in these urban areas. Berlin is a prime example of such a lively urban landscape being home to almost 3.8 million inhabitants. As this trend shows no sign of slowing down, the city will become a context in which new generations of children will grow up. In order to make cities an ideal place to raise children, we, as a community, need to rethink the way in which schools and neighbourhoods are designed. At the core of this community, architects must play a central role in recognising the shift in the topology and need to work together to rethink the principles and processes with which they design.
