Description
Urbanizing Suburbia erforscht die Beziehung zwischen drei aktuellen Prozessen in globalen St dten: Hyper-Gentrifizierung der Innenst dte, Finanzialisierung des Wohnens und strukturelle Ver nderungen in Vororten. Die explodierenden Wohnungspreise in Gro st dten haben zu einer enormen Abwanderung von Einwohner*innen aus den Innenst dten gef hrt, von denen sich viele in den Speckg rteln niedergelassen haben. Dieser demografische Wandel f hrt in Verbindung mit den spezifischen Sanierungsstrategien der Kommunen zu einer Neustrukturierung der Vorst dte. Die Publikation untersucht diese Ver nderungen am Beispiel von vier europ ischen Gro st dten: Amsterdam, Berlin, London und Stockholm. Es ist ein erster Versuch, diese drei Prozesse innerhalb eines umfassenden Rahmens zu betrachten.
