It is well known how the planning model of a “car-oriented city” was common among Western experts in the post-Second World War period, but here we claim this approach was common in both sides of divided Berlin. Investigating East- and West-Berlin’s reconstruction, here we analyse the relationship between the transnational sphere of circulation and its local realisations. Focusing on the leading figures of urban planning in West- and East-Berlin (who acted as “transfer agents”, participating in the transnational discourse) let us to better frame Berlin’s urban history in the 1960s and 1970s. The example of Lyon as France’s most “car-friendly city” is included in the analysis, so to transcend traditional perspectives of Cold War-antagonism, as well as to show the diverse and multilateral ways of exchange. Finally, the findings of the article will put the established periodisation of the “car-oriented city” in question.

众所周知，“以汽车为导向的城市”的规划模式在二战后的西方专家中很普遍，但在这里我们声称这种方法在分裂的柏林双方都很普遍。在考察东柏林和西柏林的重建过程中，我们分析了跨国流通领域与其局部实现之间的关系。关注西柏林和东柏林城市规划的主要人物（他们充当“转移代理人”，参与跨国话语）让我们更好地描绘 1960 年代和 1970 年代柏林的城市历史。分析以里昂作为法国最“汽车友好城市”的例子，超越传统的冷战对抗视角，展现多元、多边的交流方式。最后，
