Raw – United we stay
Friederichshain, Berlin, it was an old railway area (Unused land, brownfield) about 70000 m2 prime
real estate area, RAW Temple: Squatted buildings, 65 projects, 300 partners, many more users, a

into middle-class neighbourhoods
Effects: Displacement, social changes, Economic shifts
Gentrifiers: Women, Gay people, Bohemians

- Zoning ordinances
- Community land trusts
- Rent control / Rent-caps

Louis Wirth:
- High Density
- Critical mass of people
- Diversity
- ‘’Permanence’’
City Life style (more tolerance, impersonal, less friendly)
,Lewis Mumford: Not the production, economy etc. made the city great but the people living in it!
De Jure Segregation:
- Apartheid
- Segregated school systems
- Segregated public transport
- Segregated territorial systems
- Restrictive covenants on property
“Sale and/or re-sale of this property is only allowed to members of the same race as the current
owner.”
De Facto Segregation:
- Informal behavioural codes
- Segregated labour market (private discrimination)
- Red-lining by (health) insurance companies
- Socio-spatial processes (white flight, black bottom)
- Voluntary clustering with like-minded (China town)
- Lack of social mobility
Possible interventions:
- Neighbourhood regeneration programmes
- Affordable housing programmes in rich neighbourhoods
- Mixing up the population through partial gentrification
- Making different groups meet, mingle and merge
- City beautiful, improving the habitat
