Berlin has a multi-layered and contradictory landscape; high-rise buildings and gated communities next to squats, dense urban areas next to a huge urban park, etc. Over the course of the 1990s and 2000s, over 50 percent of the city’s public housing stock has been sold to private investors and the city has become a highly desirable destination for international property investment (Holm 2007). The lack of affordable housing and a rise in the speculative real-estate market spur new discussions about gentrification. Meanwhile, inhabitants and newcomers fight for their rights in the city. The focal point of this course is an examination of the changes associated with urban development in Berlin and “counter actions” as urban social movements. This interdisciplinary course explores urban activism in Berlin through several lenses, including: housing, urban environmental activism, community gardening and political power relations in the city. From the perspective of urban activism, this course offers an analysis of the origin, context, and structure of theory of right to the city, urban commons, social justice, participation, grassroot organizing, and urban development policy. Within the broad theme of “urban activism”, the course focuses on the ways in which neighbourhood/inhabitant experiences and citizens’ e orts collide to produce different forms of resistance within Berlin’s political sphere.
