Metropolitan research requires interdisciplinary collaboration in order to do justice to the complexities of metropolitan regions. This volume provides a scholarly and accessible overview of key methods and approaches in metropolitan research from a uniquely broad range of disciplines including architectural history, art history, heritage conservation, literary and cultural studies, spatial planning and planning theory, geoinformatics, urban sociology, economic geography, operations research, technology studies, transport planning, aquatic ecosystems research and urban epidemiology. It is this transdisciplinary perspective that allows metropolitain research to address recent social challenges of urban life, such as mobility, accessibility, or sustainability.

Als Berlin 1871 zur Hauptstadt des Deutschen Reiches aufstieg, vermehrten sich die Aufgaben. Wie die notwendigen Infrastrukturprojekte finanziert wurden und welchen Anteil die Kommune - oft in Auseinandersetzungen mit der Staatsverwaltung - daran trug, ist Inhalt des Bandes. Damit liegt eine Metropolengeschichte vor - entwickelte sich doch Berlin nach 1871 zu einer der attraktivsten Metropolen Europas und zur viertgrößten Stadt der Welt. In the past, Berlin flourished as a capital city, not so much due to the subsidies provided by Prussia and the empire but because these regimes understood and utilized it as a capital city. It became an imperial city and then a legendary European metropolis in a rather indirect way. This volume examines the relationship between capital city and state, as well as the independent role that Berlin had as a flourishing center of business and finance.
