Kladow: Jägerallee

Jägerallee lies in a green residential area with spacious plots and proximity to forest landscapes in western Berlin. The defining local feature of Jägerallee is lower building density, detached homes, private gardens and comparatively little through traffic. How Jägerallee is used over the course of the day depends on larger plots, mature planting and a slower rhythm than in Berlin’s inner-city blocks. Jägerallee lies in the borough of Spandau, about 19 km west of central Berlin. From Jägerallee toward Alt-Gatow and Kladower Damm, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The immediate streets and open spaces give Jägerallee a recognisable local identity of its own. The character of Jägerallee is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Together, these elements make the sense of privacy and local continuity found at the metropolitan edge central to the identity of Jägerallee.
