All access: a micro-level case study on the secondary center of Berlin (1871-1936).

- Abstract
In an empirical analysis, I show that in the case of Berlin, Germany (1871-1936), the emergence of the second CBD during the first half of the past century was largely driven by market access generated by rail-based public transport. By applying a multistep measure of accessibility, it can be shown that while the city brought-up several economic centers simultaneously, the area around the Kurfürstendamm revealed a strong initial advantage leading to a rapid clustering of economic activity that consisted even decades after this advantage had vanished (hysteresis effect).
