Guided city tour on gentrification in Berlin-Mitte: With Daniel Diekmann from the Habersaathstraße neighbourhood initiative, we walk to striking places in the Berlin-Mitte district.

Rising prices, empty buildings and displaced residents – while gentrification is not unique to Berlin, it is occurring here with particular speed and devastating impact. On an Open Space of BERLIN GLOBAL, artists explore the phenomenon of gentrification. Berliners are resisting the loss of affordable housing and urban space with demonstrations, grassroots organisation and solidarity, fighting their displacement to the literal fringes of urban society. But despite their best efforts, the onslaught of advancing commercial interests continues.
