Berlin Today

Berlin from another perspective: The casual, relaxed atmosphere of the city has become a major draw card for young people seeking to move to Berlin, not just from the rest of Germany, but also from other parts of Europe and even further afield like the United States.
What makes the special atmosphere of our city today? Joseph Hajdu from Australia directs the focus at certain aspects of Berlin life today, concentrating on places, people, and issues that help define the city's present social, economic and cultural character.

Joseph Hajdu, author and journalist, came to Berlin for the first time in 1964. Since then he has visited the city regularly, conducted interviews among others with Richard von Weizsäcker and Eberhard Diepgen, and immersed himself in what for him is 'the most interesting town of the world'. Hajdu lives in Melbourne.
