German term or phrase: einem geschlossenen Stadtbild von hoher Gestaltqualität
Geprägt wird die Nauener Vorstadt weitgehend durch einen besonderen Gebäudetyp zwischen freistehender repräsentativer Villa und Mietshaus, der am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts für Offi¬ziere und höhere Beamte entstand und heute hochwertiges Wohnen bietet. Dieser Stadtteil mit einem geschlossenen Stadtbild von hoher Gestaltqualität beherbergt außerdem weitläufige Parkanlagen und verfügt über eine nahezu unerreichte Anbindung an die umliegenden Seen und Gewässer. Heiliger See, Jungfernsee und Havel locken zu ausgedehnten Spaziergängen.

There is no doubt that the listing of London’s theatres has in many cases helped to save these fine buildings for future generations. We would like it to be noted that theatres are unique buildings, with high design values and architectural integrity, whether purpose built, or converted. Whilst there are already many listed theatres in London, there are also others that are likely to become so at some future time. While we address our responses to those currently listed we are also mindful to the many theatres that will be listed in the future.
