Berlin is experiencing a major shift –  leaving the car behind is encouraged and new ways of urban mobility are becoming ubiquitous. But surveys show that safety in traffic is a significant barrier. Is Berlin’s infrastructure lagging behind?
Prof. Dr.-Ing. David Bermbach, head of “Mobile Cloud Computing” research group at TU Berlin and “Einstein Center Digital Future” has been working on research projects such as “SimRa: Safety in Bicycle Traffic” to investigate exactly that. Hear about first results and David’s visions for Berlin at  #TEDxTUBerlinSalon

In vogue today, gone tomorrow. Fast fashion with its ever-shorter cycles dominates today’s fashion industry. Catering to those who wish to own “something that lasts” is the Berlin-based self-taught men‘s tailor and founder of his own eponymous brand, Maximilian Mogg. He places the timeless elegance of classic menswear at the centre of a counter movement to the unsustainable excess of our disposable culture. He argues for the ‘smexiness’ of owning fewer but better pieces and explains how even small adjustments to consumption habits can stem the tide of waste in the fashion industry.
