About The Game of Urban Regeneration – Culture & Community in London 2012 and Berlin's Mediaspree

Who wins and who loses in urban regeneration? What are the mechanisms at play? Francesca Weber-Newth looks at two neighbourhoods that are adjacent to large-scale regeneration schemes: the 2012 Olympic park in London and the Mediaspree waterside development in Berlin. By analysing how urban regeneration is experienced on the ground, her study counters the notion that Olympic-led regeneration is any different from other forms of neoliberal urban development. Adopting Pierre Bourdieu's view of the social world as made up of competitive >gamesculture< and >community< are strategically employed in the >game< of urban regeneration - to the benefit of some and the detriment of others.
