Abstract: The spatio-economic organisation of the Berlin-Brandenburg (B-BB) capital region is based on three central spatial structures: the Berlin Future Places (ZO), the Brandenburg Regional Growth Cores (RWK), and the Innovation and Development Axes (IEA). While the ZO and RWK are based on a cluster-like logics of strengthening strengths, the IEA take up the idea of connecting strengths. This article analyses this resulting new spatial vision for the B-BB capital region along the Berlin-Lausitz Corridor (BLC) through a self-designed spatial toolkit based on concepts of spaces and approximated spatial figures from an on economic geography and regional economics perspective and envisions prospects for multiple spatialities in selected fields of academia, indus-try, and government. Methodologically, an accompanying and advisory scientific research is used in combination with long-term observations, document analyses, and expert interviews. The results show that, contrary to the previous singular views of ZO, RWK, and IEA, multiple spatialities help to design academic ecosystems, multi-local work and production locations, or in polycontextual planning arrangements.
