What does Berlin look like, and how it could look in the future? The development and use of a virtual three-dimensional city model for the State of Berlin enables the region to be viewed as it was in the past, as it is today, and as it could be in the future. The integration and deployment of existing and future two- and three-dimensional geodata in an innovative, official, and sustainable manner opens up a wide range of possible applications.

The virtual data model of the city has been constructed by combining basic geodata with specialized information on individual buildings. It is now used for planning, for providing information about the city, and for location marketing. Further applications are currently under development.
