#Prosfygika - one of the largest squatted communities in Europe - means 'refugee homes' in Greek; a stronghold of #partisan resistance in the December 1944 uprising, which left the blocks scarred by bullet holes. Nowadays this neighbourhood fights against the ongoing state-backed #gentrification of #athens

@danceismypassion2 Living in #Barcelona for more than 25 years, I love #culture but I hate #gentrification and global #tourism.

Any idea how to stop the enshitification of our #planet while respecting people rights?

Freu mich riesig darauf, mit lieben friends & collaborators das Panel "Big Tech against our Cities - Gentrifizierung, Privatisierung und Überwachung" zu bespielen!! Denn: Big Tech findet (leider) Stadt! Wir werden über verschiedene urbane Kämpfe sprechen und wie wir solidarische Cables of Resistance miteinander knüpfen können. Join us!

Samstag, 11.4. um 16.30h

Diesmal auf der anderen Seite der einstigen Cuvry-Brache wird die Lido-Fassade gern als Werbefläche genutzt. Hier, mal bunter im Februar '25, wirbt der Hauptmieter des gegenüberliegenden Bürokomplexes.

What would be a responsible answer to #gentrification? A policy of encouraging #affordablehousing that’s mixed with market-rate units. But does this really work, and if so, how? The place to study may be Atlanta’s Beltline, the pedestrian and cycling trail that set off so much development across the city. There, a TIF finances the subsidized units. https://www.ajc.com/business/2026/04/the-beltline-was-once-falling-behind-on-affordable-housing-its-caught-up/ #housing
Atlanta Beltline approaches affordable housing goals ahead of schedule

The Atlanta Beltline on Thursday announced it has created, preserved or is actively building 4,425 affordable units, which is 79% of the way to its goal.

Stop brunch! How a rustic Catalan meal is taking the fight to bland food and overtourism

As Barcelona groans under a surfeit of generic cafes, a grassroots movement is reviving the traditional ‘fork breakfast’. Anyone for pigs’ trotters, asks food writer Abbas Asaria
