The New Skyline of Berlin : A 3D GIS shadow and visibility analysis at the Alexanderplatz

The capital of Germany Berlin will undergo a change in its skyline in the next few years.Due to a new housing policy that allows the construction of higher buildings, Berlinwill soon have several skyscrapers over 130 m high directly at Alexanderplatz as wellas next the Berlin landmark, the Berlin TV Tower.With the help of ArcGIS, the newbuildings are shown in 3D along with the impact of these buildings on the view to theTV Tower and the shadows cast by the new buildings on the Alexanderplatz. It is shownthat due to the new buildings, some areas around the Alexanderplatz no longer have acomplete view to the TV Tower. The shadow cast by the buildings will only slightlychange the current shadow cast on the Alexanderplatz, but neighbouring areas aroundthe Alexanderplatz will now be affected more by shadows.
