Save your City
by Ole Elfenkaemper
Save your city!Megaspree is an alliance of people involved in arts and culture. We are political, ecological and social groups, free space residents and club operators, who are affected by current processes of restructuring and gentrification. Numerous clubs and initiatives support this appeal!Save your city- from sellout!A policy which is understanding free space only as potential sale objects, is no policy but rather a commercial business.For saving of important urban potentials of local community!Save your city- from gentrification!The rental price spiral is rotating upward although many people are dependent on affordable living space. Nevertheless policy is leaving basic right of habitation to the free market.Unbridled rising of rents has to be arrested again by dint of regulations!Save your city- from covering with concrete!More and more precious open areas should be covered with buildings. Not only for Spree waterside there are aspiring plans to covering the city with concrete mercilessy.For a gentle, participative and local urban development!Save your city- from cultural cutback!Alternative culture, which constitutes Berlin, is increasingly being destroyed because of wrong decisions and concentration on a middle class concept of life.Subcultural pioneers for upgrading and commercialization of neighbourhood? We won’t be a party of it – we stay!Save your city- from climatic collapse!The climate of Greater Berlin is dependent on fresh air feeding by air current particular in the area of the Spree. There are planned numerous new tower buildings and several power plants.For preservation of Berlin’s “green lungs”!Save your city- from monotony of building structure!Berlin is loosing its face, which also inspires numerous visitors, by replacing unique structure and creative used freespace with giants of concrete and steel.For a tangible experience of town history and an authentic cultural presence!Save your city- from ignorance!The will of the people has to be respected and realized sufficiently. The senate has not been covered with glory yet concerning clear-cut public decides like “Spreeufer für alle!”.For “real” public decides!If we fail to beware our neighbourhood from sale we will pay with destruction of cultural, economic and social infrastructure, with increasing rents, with eviction of a majority of population, with replacement of urban- experimental diversity by a cultural mainstream.Go out on the street!For your right to city! Save your city!
