Here is a short video by [Dave Amos](https://twitter.com/citybeautifulYT) (of the YouTube channel City Beautiful) about the splitting of Berlin into two. What a fascinating urban case study. I just recently discovered his channel, but he seems to cover [some interesting topics](https://www.youtube.com/c/CityBeautiful/videos), all of which are related to cities and city planning. When Dave is not making YouTube videos, he is a professor of city and regional planning at Cal Poly. He also graduated with a Master of Architecture at some point before getting his Ph.D., so presumably he knows a few things about buildings and cities. I guess that also makes him [an imposter architect](https://brandondonnelly.com/2020/01/30/i-am-not-an-architect/), like me.
