Abstract: We show that, given a metric space (Y,d) of curvature bounded from above in the sense of Alexandrov, and a positive Radon measure mu on Y giving finite mass to bounded sets, the resulting metric measure space (Y,d,mu) is infinitesimally Hilbertian, i.e. the Sobolev space W1,2(Y,d,mu) is a Hilbert space. The result is obtained by constructing an isometric embedding of the `abstract and analytical' space of derivations into the `concrete and geometrical' bundle whose fibre at xinY is the tangent cone at x of Y. The conclusion then follows from the fact that for every xinY such a cone is a CAT(0)-space and, as such, has a Hilbert-like structure.
