Podcast | „Stadt, Land, Wohnen“ Teil 3 – Gentrifizierung? Läuft!

In this third SONDERBAR bonus episode on the „Stadt, Land, Wohnen“ conference, Holger Faby and Christian Smigiel join us on  SICHTBAR HÖRBAR to discuss the topic of gentrification.

We begin where the glossy photos in city marketing brochures end: Freshly insulated exteriors, new greenery, bike racks with design award potential. Inside, people who quietly disappear—or can’t move in at all. We talk about gentrification as a permanent state: sometimes loud, sometimes in the fine print, rarely on election posters.

Also included: original sound bites from the conference sessions. We travel from Bremen, Freiburg, Leipzig, and Nuremberg to Salzburg’s Andräviertel district and come away with three takeaways: gentrification continues, political discourse plays a decisive role, and “protecting a neighborhood” is not the same as “securing housing.”

As always, the podcast is available on  Spotify Apple Podcasts and  Amazon Music.
