Berlin
Germany's capital and largest city, a federal state of its own, with a labour market built on public administration, startups, media, science and tourism rather than on heavy industry. Rents and prices rose faster here than almost anywhere else in the 2010s and the city still has the country's widest gap between the centre and the outer districts.
