Berlin Gentrification

I hardly ever think about gentrification’s effects on a city but certainly it is continuously happening, especially in cities like Berlin.  Neuk­ölln is experiencing this shift right now and definitely not without controversy. The more I study it the more I think about the large cranes that suddenly seem to dominate the skyline in Seattle. Although it may be quite a stretch to compare Seattle to Berlin, I notice the spaces of nothings are quickly becoming somethings.
