405. Holzmarkt in Berlin - Juval Dieziger

<p>Holzmarkt is a co-operative urban space in central Berlin offering space for cultural activities, restaurants and bars, small businesses, social infrastructure, urban gardening and spaces for community. The idea was born out of a protest against the city’s decision to drastically transform the abandoned areas in the river bank. </p> <p>Co-founder and Chief Emotional Officer <a href="juval@holzmarkt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Juval Dieziger</a>, tells us the vision behind their inclusive and constantly developing space which has allowed the “timber market” to become a symbol for community-driven urban regeneration projects in the city since then.</p> <p>___ This episode is in collaboration with Utopian Hours.
