Berlin’s city government plans to build as many as 1,700 affordable homes at the Tempelhof airport complex that was used for the Allied airlift during the Cold War.
Development of the site that’s currently being used as a park will begin in 2016, according to a statement from the Berlin City Planning Office today. Once this project is complete, the city will add buildings including a library to three additional sites on the complex, using up about a quarter of the airfield.
