Gentrification and urban gentrification refer to the changes that
result when wealthier people ("gentry") acquire or rent property in low
income and working class communities. Urban gentrification is
associated with movement Consequent to gentrification, the
average income increases and average family size decreases in the
community. It is commonly believed that this results in the poorer
native residents of the neighborhood, being unable to pay increased
rents, house prices, and property taxes being displaced. Often
old industrial buildings are converted to residences and shops. In
addition, new businesses, catering to a more affluent base of
consumers, move in, further increasing the appeal to more affluent
migrants and decreasing the accessibility to the poor.
Urban gentrification occasionally changes the culturally
heterogeneous character of a community or neighborhood to a more
economically homogeneous community that some describe as having a
suburban character. This process is sometimes made feasible by
government-sponsored private real estate investment repairing the local
infrastructure via deferred taxes, mortgages for poor and for
first-time house buyers, and financial incentives for the owners of
decayed rental housing. Once in place, these economic
development actions tend to reduce local property crime,
increase property values and prices, and increase tax revenues.
Political action, to either promote or oppose the gentrification, is
often the community's response against unintended economic eviction
caused by rising rents that make continued residence in their dwellings
unfeasible.The rise in property values causes property taxes based on
property values to increase; resident owners unable to pay the taxes
are forced to sell their dwellings and move to a cheaper community
In Berlin, this process is well underway.The Berlin culture loses
the most important places for art in the city, the places where culture
is created, which is produced in those areas beyond commerce.
These special inner-city art space mean for the city and its people
freedom and they provide education and Berlin flair. The very imperfect
such urban places has its charm, is the source for art and has great
appeal.
In the last two years, Berlin has changed. Artspaces such as
Tacheles or C / O Museum are threatened or are abandoned. Now the
LA 54 is tuned. Located in the Landsberger Allee 54, in an old brewery,
emerging international cultural center house about 100 artists from
different artistic disciplines including painting, performance,
sculpture, fashion design, photography, theater, music, film
The building itself is 150 years old. There the former beer brewery
Patzenhofer whose owner came to Berlin in 1855 and opened in the
Landsberger Allee in 1877 to 1896 to plans by the architect Arthur
Rohmer and Antiquity & Zadek.In 2007, this place attracts art place
and since then tourists from different countries and also street art to
artists. Now fall into this building and its working artists of
gentrification.
Now Berlin is selling its magic.
