What if Berlin was a National Park City? - This is the question posed by the newly founded project Wildnisstadt Berlin // Berlin National Park City. It thereby brings the "National Park City" movement to Berlin and takes a look at the future of Berlin's nature(s ) and public spaces. Behind the project are the FU initiative Blühender Campus and members of the River Collective.

In a kick-off event open to all interested individuals, urban ecological visions for Berlin will be shared and discussed, as well as visualized in a collective mapping process. The event will be held in two parts.
