Berlin is the only city in Germany that has been mapped in a fully textured 3D format. The 3D model of Berlin opens up new dimensions for marketing the city.

What does Berlin look like today, and what might it look like tomorrow? The 3D model of Berlin allows viewers to look at the city as it is now, as it once was, and as the city it might turn into in the future. Using two- and three-dimensional geodata, we can visualize recent historical changes as well as future urban development projects.

Innovation in marketing Berlin as a location

The virtual presentation of Berlin as a site of business and industry in the 3D city model, combined with industry-specific data about Berlin's economy gives potential investors all the information they need at a glance. The model gives parties interested in locating to the city and investors a precise understanding of the location and surroundings of their future address in Berlin, allowing them to experience their neighborhood in advance.

Along with an internal version, used for advising investors in the BLC showroom, there is a public version available at Economic Atlas Berlin. The internal version for presentations can be purchased to be used for other projects. more
