This paper attempts to illustrate the suitability of specific urban forms for particular planning objectives within a given urban context. Proposals for a reurbanisation project in Berlin are discussed. The proposals were prepared by students during 1992-1993 in conjunction with a study to improve rail transport and areas around railway and underground stations by SNV Studiengesellschaft Verkehr mbH. Berlin. The designs seek to interpret the existing planning aims for the area around Alexanderstrasse, south of Alexanderplatz from the City of Berlin and from the District Berlin-Mitte. An evaluation of the range of proposals points to four basic type solutions for the urban structure. The suitability of particular forms for specific aims is noted as well as the structure which appears to offer the greatest potential to reconcile at least some ofthe conflicting aims for the area.
