Alexanderplatz, a pedestrianised square in Berlin.
- Role: backdrop
- In the video: Shown as proof that trams fit into pedestrianised squares better than any other surface transport, with a Jason Bourne joke over the footage. The video ties it to the argument that East Berlin kept and expanded its trams while West Berlin ripped them out.
- Why it matters: A visual example rather than a setting.
