Pre-University Paper from the year 2024 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Demographics, Urban Management, Planning, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: Expensive cars. Big apartments. Fancy restaurants. Then, turning around you see homeless on the streets. Starving children living in tents. Being there for a big part of my childhood I have realised how big the gap between rich and poor is and I especially noticed that on a trip to Prenzlauer Berg. And there I wondered: Do the rich and powerful people care about the rest of the population? As other cities, Berlin went through multiple crises and recovered by developing their economy and increasing their prices, especially in rent. For many people, the modernisation and improvement of the city had advantages, but who did not profit?Thus this skilled work will deal with the topic <A case study: Gentrification in Prenzlauer Berg - Who pays the price?= to find and point out the consequences of such a huge development of a city with as much importance as Berlin. Therefore the term of gentrification will be defined and explained as well as applied to the example of Prenzlauer Berg. Furthermore, referring to that example, the consequences of gentrification will be critically analysed with a special focus on the aspect of structural upgrade vs social preservation. For that discussion, multiple people living in or visiting Prenzlauer Berg have been interviewed and for the visualisation a map has been created, wherefore data from every district of Berlin was collected and later on used to draw a map showing the degree of gentrification in Berlin.
