The foundation of this development is the steady growth of the economy, which has been more dynamic here than in other regions for years now. In addition, more new businesses are started here than in any other German state. And itself is growing: more and more people are moving to our city. That gives new strength, but it also creates new challenges. The city s positive development is not a given. We owe it to the many people who are contributing to s rise people who are shaping the city, moving it forward, and ensuring that stays on track for success. At the same time, the economic upswing needs to benefit all ers, and that also calls for policymaking that sets the right course. Excellent education for all, an outstanding location for academics, science, and research, high-quality child care, affordable housing, a unique range of cultural offerings, creative development potential, and a sense of community and solidarity all of that goes hand in hand in. We want to preserve what we have and build on it, too, so that even more people can look forward to a brighter future. The statistics and comparative figures in this brochure give you some examples of s success story over the past decade. Happy reading! Yours, Klaus Wowereit Governing Mayor of
