VOICED : Berliners to vote on future of airport turned playground

The former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin has been transformed into a large park, offering a space for outdoor activities. Historically significant, it played a key role during the Cold War. Currently, there are plans to develop 20% of the site for housing, sparking public debate. Many oppose the development, citing environmental concerns and the need to preserve green space. A referendum will decide the future of the site, reflecting a broader tension between urban development and heritage preservation.
