Introduction
A possible future for Berlin’s International Congress Centre, ICC was first discussed at ANCB in May 2022 against the backdrop of the continuous decrease of public spaces for culture in Berlin and the need for ecological building conversions. This follow-up Lab Talk looks beyond Berlin to present exemplary projects from the Netherlands and France with the aim to encourage a rethinking of the ICC’s potential and illustrating the opportunities that such a unique place holds for the city and its urban development. Three high-profile examples will be presented, highlighting new processes, economic concepts and partnerships as well as the lasting positive effects of these best practices on their respective cities. The subsequent podium discussion will focus on the ICC as a prototype and real laboratory for opportunities.
