The author analyzes the following examples: HafenCity in Hamburg, the revitalization of the former military and postindustrial waterfront grounds by the Havel River in Potsdam with special emphasis upon the Hans Otto Theatre and the City Park as well as three projects of key importance for the functional and spatial integration of the structure of Berlin after the year 1990: the governmental complex “Spreebogen”, the Central Railway Station and the restoration of the Museum Island. In conclusion, the author presents interdependences between the architecture of a metropolis and the architectonics of a network of public spaces and nodes, i.e. the structure which puts an urban space in order in the functional and spatial regard in the layer of the cultural symbolism and estheticism of an urban landscape. The notions of “a network of public spaces” and “nodes” also have an arranging value with reference to the social and economic aspects in a collection of attributes characterizing the models of a spatial metropolitan structure under research.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.14.010.1988}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/czasopismo-techniczne/article/strategic-metropolitan-projects-examples-from-hamburg-potsdam-and-berlin} }
