These are good, successful years for Berlin: the city’s economic upswing is generating jobs, higher wages, and, as a result, better living
conditions overall. The foundation of this development is the steady
growth of the economy, which has been more dynamic here than
in other regions for years now. In addition, more new businesses
are started here than in any other German state. And Berlin itself is
growing: more and more people are moving to our city. That gives
Berlin new strength, but it also creates new challenges.
The city’s positive development is not a given. We owe it to the
many people who are contributing to Berlin’s rise – people who are
shaping the city, moving it forward, and ensuring that Berlin stays
on track for success. At the same time, the economic upswing needs
to benefit all Berliners, and that also calls for policymaking that sets
the right course.
Excellent education for all, an outstanding location for academics,
science, and research, high-quality child care, affordable housing, a
unique range of cultural offerings, creative development potential,
and a sense of community and solidarity – all of that goes hand in
hand in Berlin. We want to preserve what we have and build on it,
too, so that even more people can look forward to a brighter future.
The statistics and comparative figures in this brochure give you
some examples of Berlin’s success story over the past decade.
Happy reading!
Yours,
Klaus Wowereit
Governing Mayor of Berlin

Berlin has a structurally balanced budget, which means that in normal
economic times, the budget is funded without new debt. A limit on
public borrowing has been incorporated into the Basic Law, Germany’s
constitution, mandating that this financial policy goal be realized by
2020 at the latest. Berlin has met this requirement since 2012.

3.56 % of GDP, Berlin ranks second in Germany in spending on this area.
The number of foundations in Berlin continues to rise, having doubled
in the last ten years. The Senate introduced simplified and accelerated
procedures to help foundations get started.

… that Berlin’s universities have been very
successful at attracting external funding?
… that Berlin has the country’s highest share
of women professors?
In a comparison of Germany’s states, Berlin’s universities rank second
in attracting external funding.1 The amount of external funding
awarded is an indicator of faculty’s ability to acquire research funding
and of the quality of the research being done.
Berlin has a higher percentage of women faculty than any other German state. And Berlin also outnumbers most of Germany’s other
states with its total of 3,125 professors overall (both men and women).
Women are especially well represented in entrance-level professorships (56.9 %) and professorships in the next highest category (36.6 %).

A livable city: Did you know …
Berlin – A success story – A livable city
… that Berlin is a city in close touch
with nature?
… that Berlin is a leader in
CO2 reduction?
Berlin is Germany’s greenest major city. Recreation areas, forests,
rivers, lakes, and canals make up more than 30 % of its territory.
Neukölln has more green spaces than any other borough, with just
under 20 % of its area devoted to parks and meadows for sports and
relaxation.
Thanks to Berlin’s air pollution control program, we are seeing
constant improvement in our air quality. With per capita CO2
emissions of 5.9 tons, Berlin is an environmentally friendly city. We
have managed to reduce our emissions by 32.6 % since 1990.

A livable city: Did you know …
Berlin – A success story – A livable city
… that cars play a much smaller role in Berlin
than in other major German cities?
… that Berlin has a very efficient public
transportation system?
Berlin is the city with the fewest cars per capita, thanks in part to
the city’s dense public transportation network and its many bicycle
paths and sidewalks. Berlin is also one of Germany’s “electric mobility
showcases.” The number of electric vehicles in the city will only
continue to grow in the coming years.
3.62 million passenger trips a day are taken on Berlin-Brandenburg’s
public transportation system, which amounts to more than 1.3 billion trips a year. Here in Berlin, passengers have 15 suburban rail
lines, 10 subway lines, 24 tram lines, 6 ferries, and 162 bus lines to
choose from.

A livable city: Did you know …

… that Berlin is one of the world’s most
appealing cities for young people?
… that you get more for your money in Berlin
than in many other cities?
The YouthfulCities 2014 Index analyzed 25 cities around the world
to find out which of them offers young people the best living conditions. Berlin ranked second, ahead of New York, in this worldwide
comparison and came out first among European cities – far ahead
of Paris and London.
Berlin looks good when it comes to the relationship between wages
and prices. Although wages and salaries are, on average, lower than
in other cities, prices are considerably lower, too. That means that the
average Berliner can make his or her salary go further than people in
many other major cities.

A livable city: Did you know …

… that Berlin leads the country in
sporting events?
… that Berlin’s museums are drawing record
numbers of visitors?
In 2012, a total of 40,987 runners started the Berlin Marathon. Taking
that into account, it’s not surprising that the capital ranks first in
sporting events. Lots of fans are regulars at Hertha BSC football
games, Alba Berlin basketball games, Füchse Berlin handball games,
and Berliner Eisbären ice hockey games. In volleyball, water polo, and
field hockey, too, Berlin’s First and Second Division teams are doing
very well.
Statistics underscore the popularity of Berlin’s museums. A total of
17,200,115 people visited Berlin’s museums, memorial sites, and
exhibition venues in 2012, which means that the number of museum
visits has more than doubled since 1994. In 2012, 375 exhibitions
were shown in museums and memorial sites alone and another 242 in
exhibition venues, for a total of 617.
