Städtische Nahverkehrsmittel in London und Berlin, 1830-1914 ([Urban Public Transport in London and Berlin, 1830-1914]. (2016)
In the 19th century, many towns flourished unexpectedly. The rise in the population was accompanied by the geographic extension of the urban space. The new dimensions of the cities with their now separating living and workplaces formed a completely new functionality of the city. This development made a revolution of inner-city traffic inevitable, especially in metropolises such as London and Berlin. The urban public transport had a serious influence on the design of roads and urban space which makes it an essential part of the history of the European cities in the 19th century. Since the creation of this public transport until the present time, it has transformed significantly the life in Berlin and London.
