Natura Urbana: a vision of Berlin's newest phase of urban transformation
Thu 12 March 2020
Department of Geography
Cambridge Natural History Society presents Natura Urbana, a film by Matthew Gandy offering a vision of the "Brachen" of Berlin, "spaces of spontaneous nature, a field for pioneers, holding the promise of happiness". The changing vegetation of Berlin serves as a parallel history to war-time destruction, geo-political division, and the newest phase of urban transformation.
Matthew Gandy is a Professor of Cultural and Historical Geography at the University of Cambridge. A Q&A session will follow the film.
