An arena for collaboration of cities and regions

voices map members bodies

Cities and regions along the Scandria®Corridor have cooperated with each other for more than ten years now. In 2019, leading political representatives of six cities and regions along the corridor concluded an agreement to establish the Scandria®Alliance. The Scandria®Alliance serves as an arena for cities and regions to collaborate on climate-smart multimodal transport connectivity at the interface to sustainable regional development. Our common vision is to connect regions, economies and communities through clean and smart transportation.

Voices

„For the German Capital Region, the Scandria®Alliance has great economic and transport policy significance. Together with our partners, we have the chance to make the Scandria®Corridor an example for climate-smart transport connectivity in Europe.”

Guido Beermann, Potsdam

Minister of Infrastructure and Federal State Planning of Land Brandenburg, Chairperson of the Scandria®Alliance General Assembly

The Joint Spatial Planning Department is in charge of the spatial planning policy and state development planning of both Berlin and Brandenburg. Combining the characteristics of the capital Berlin with the structure of the large-area federal state of Brandenburg, the German Capital Region is characterised by very different areas that all have their own yet mutually complementary strengths and potentials. As a European traffic hub at the intersection of three TEN-T core network corridors, the region aims to act as a link between East and West as well as North and South. https://gl.berlin-brandenburg.de/en/
