Synopsis
Who does really decide how our cities develop? Travelling to London, Madrid and Hamburg, the film tries to find an answer to that question. We discover the concept of the city of London as a profit-oriented business in a global competition with other metropolises. In Hamburg, we follow the reconfiguration of a troubled city district within the framework of the 2013 IBA.But we also experience how citizens develop an original artist’s district on their own. Just 20 km from the centre of Madrid, an illegally-constructed urban district has appeared, managed by the citizens. Authorities tolerated this situation for decades. But in the past few years, the area has gained in economic value due to the growth of the city. The result: houses are demolished; families are thrown out onto the street.
