Envision a city where every individual feels truly at home—a place where respect, inclusion, and equality transcend mere ideals to become tangible, lived experiences, irrespective of one’s place of origin. This is the compelling vision for Berlin in 2033, as articulated by Wahlheymat.
In this future Berlin, every person is not only welcomed but actively encouraged to contribute to the shaping of the city’s social, political, and economic life. It is a Berlin where opportunities are universally accessible, fostering an environment of warmth, optimism, and authentic community engagement.
Picture a Berlin where integration occurs seamlessly, participation is intuitive, and navigating societal structures feels inherent to all its residents. A city where we collectively co-create and co-own its various structures—on the level of the kiez, district, and city as a whole. This is a Berlin that nurtures a profound sense of belonging, transforming it from a place to live into a place to call home for life.
As Berlin continues to evolve, let us imagine a future where it emerges as a true City of Belonging by 2033—a global exemplar of inclusivity, shared ownership, and community. A Berlin where every individual, without exception, experiences a deep and undeniable sense of belonging.
