  abstract  = {Advances in information and communication technologies such as the Internet have driven a great transformation in the interactions between individuals and the urban environment. As the use of the Internet in cities becomes more intense and diverse, there is also a restructuring of urban space, which is experienced by groups in society in various ways, according to the specificity of each context. Accordingly, large Internet companies have emerged as new players in the processes of urbanization, either through partnerships with the public administration or through various services offered directly to urban residents. Once these corporations are key actors in the digitalization of urban services, their operations can affect the patterns of urban inequality and generate a series of new struggles over the production of space. Interested in analyzing this phenomena from the perspective of civil society, the present Master Thesis examined a social movement that prevented Google to settle a new startup campus in the district of Kreuzberg, in Berlin. By asking why Google was not welcome in that context, this study also sought to understand how internet, as well as its main operators, has affected everyday life in the city. Thus, besides analyzing the movement, I investigated the particularities of the urban context where it arose and the elements that distinguish the mobilization's opponent. In pursuit of an interdisciplinary approach, I analyzed and discussed the results of empirical research in dialogue with critical theories in the fields of urban studies and the Internet, with emphasis on Castells' definitions of urban social movements and network society (1983, 2009, 2015), Couldry's and Mejias' (2019) idea of data colonialism, Lef{\`e}bvre's (1991, 1996) concepts of abstract space and the right to the city, as well as Zuboff's (2019) theory of surveillance capitalism. The case at hand has exposed that Google plays a prominent role in the way the Internet has been developed and deployed in cities. From the perspective accessed, the current appropriation of Internet technologies has been detrimental to individual autonomy and has contributed to intensifying existing inequalities in the city. The alternative vision to this relies mainly on the promotion of decentralized solidarity networks.},

  abstract  = {In the field of urban climate policy, heat production and demand are key sectors for achieving a sustainable city. Heat production has to shift from fossil to renewable energies, and the heat demand of most buildings has to be reduced significantly via building retrofits. However, analyses of heat transition still lack its contextualization within entangled urban politico-economic processes and materialities and require critical socio-theoretical examination. Asking about the embeddedness of heat transition within social relations and its implications for social justice issues, this article discusses the challenges and opportunities of heat transition, taking Berlin as an example. It uses an urban political ecology perspective to analyze the materialities of Berlin's heating-housing nexus, its politico-economic context, implications for relations of inequality and power, and its contested strategies. The empirical analysis identifies major disputes about the future trajectory of heat production and about the distribution of retrofit costs. Using our conceptual approach, we discuss these empirical findings against the idea of a more just heat transition. For this purpose, we discuss three policy proposals regarding cost distribution, urban heat planning, and remunicipalization of heat utilities. We argue that this conceptual approach provides huge benefits for debates around heat transition and, more generally, energy justice and just transitions.},

  abstract  = {Due to the significant number of immigrants in Europe, especially Germany, integration is an ongoing subject of debate. Since the 1970s, with the emergence of the discussions on 'place,' it has also been realized that the immigrant experience is associated with location. Nevertheless, due to the challenges in capturing the place and migration relevance, there is a gap in understanding the role of the migrant's geography of experiences and its outcomes (Phillips \& Robinson, 2015). This research aims to investigate the extent to which both the process of objective integration and the socio-spatial practices of high-skilled Iranian immigrants in Berlin outline and influence their sense of belonging to Berlin as the new "home." The embedded mixed-method design had employed for this study. The quantitative analysis through Pearson's correlation technique measured the strength of the association between Iranians' settlement distribution and the characteristics of Berlins' districts. The quantitative analysis provides contextual data to get a greater level of understanding of the case study's interaction with place. The units of place intend to demonstrate the case study's presence and possible interaction with places around their settlement location that relatively shapes their perception. The qualitative analysis comprises ethnographic fieldwork and semi-structured in-depth interviews with a homogeneous sample of Iranian immigrants in Berlin that provide data on individual and ethnic behaviors and trajectories and analyze the complex interactions between the immigrant's experience and the role of place. This research uncovers that Iranian highly skilled immigrants are successful in integrating objectively; However, in regards to their state of belonging, it illustrated the following: The role of socio-ethnic culture of the case study in denotation of home and belonging; Iranian high-skilled immigrants' efforts towards reaching a level of upward mobility overshadow their attempt to shape social and spatial interaction with Berliners and Berlin itself, which manifests both in their perception and use of urban space; and finally, the identification practice and the boundary-making as an act of reassurance and self-protection against the generalization of adjacent nationalities, demonstrated in the intersection of demographical settlement distribution of Iranians in Berlin and the ethnic diversity, impact the sense of belonging and place-making.},

  abstract  = {Der Komplexit{\"a}t moderner Br{\"u}ckenbauwerke scheinen die verwendeten Berechungsmodelle oft nicht angemessen. Tragwerksberechnungen basieren in vielen F{\"a}llen noch auf der Vorgehensweise, das Br{\"u}ckenbauwerk in Einzelbauteile zu zerlegen und mit unterschiedlichen Teilmodellen zu behandeln. Das erscheint, auch vor dem Hintergrund st{\"a}ndig wachsender Rechnerleistung, nicht mehr zeitgem{\"a}ß. Dies gilt zum Beispiel auch f{\"u}r die g{\"a}ngige Praxis, fl{\"a}chenhafte Br{\"u}cken{\"u}berbauten mit Balkenmodellen zu berechnen. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt ein ganzheitliches Berech-nungskonzept vor, welches auf der Basis eines einzigen FE-Modells die Berechnung des Gesamtbauwerks erlaubt. Damit wird f{\"u}r alle Bauteile neben der Zustandsgr{\"o}ßenberechnung auch die Bemessung von Stahl- und Spannbetonbauteilen bis hin zu Nachweisen wie zur Beschr{\"a}nkung der Rissbreite gef{\"u}hrt. Die Anwendung dieses Berechnungskonzeptes wird am Beispiel der Eisenbahn{\"u}berf{\"u}hrung des neuen Lehrter Bahn-hofs in Berlin gezeigt. Das verwendete FE-Modell umfasst Baugrund, Fundamente, Stahl- bzw. Gußstahlunterkonstruktion sowie den Stahl- bzw. Spannbeton{\"u}berbau. Besonderheiten sind unter anderem die Modellierung des plattenbalkenartigen {\"U}berbaus durch exzentrische, vorspannbare Schalenelemente und das getrennte Vorhalten von tragwerks- und lastbezogenen Eingabefiles. Damit gelingt die sequentielle Erfassung unterschiedlicher Bettungsmoduli zur Simulation statischer und dynamischer Beanspruchungen, die Ber{\"u}cksichtigung des Anspannens und der Interaktion zwischen vorgespannten Stahlverb{\"a}nden zur Aufnahme von Horizontallasten sowie die Ber{\"u}cksichtigung unterschiedlicher statischer Systeme bei der Herstellung des Spannbeton{\"u}berbaus.},
