    Abstract: After the initial moments of political protest have passed, urban protest movements and neighbourhood initiatives often face the challenge of establishing a sustainable organizing structure in their neighbourhoods and of creating long-lasting collaborations, including maintaining relations among various participants and heterogeneous political actors in the city. This paper analyses the political practice of Kotti & Co, an urban neighbourhood initiative that has been active in political struggles pertaining to social housing and displacement and working against racism and neoliberal urban politics in the super-diverse city of Berlin. In the larger context of urban protest movements since 2011, the initiative managed to overcome a series of political challenges and to build a long-lasting organizing practice. The authors identify Kotti & Co as a ‘community of struggle’ that was able to foster a lasting movement through three elements of sustainability. The protest first managed to build bridges across and beyond its members’ differences (class, migration background, sexual orientation) by finding a common set of political demands and social practices as well as by establishing collective place-based subjectivities. These place-based subjectivities have contributed to overcoming conventional identity politics by forming a new kind of political identity through the struggle itself.

    Abstract: In this article, we focus on ways in which ‘internal migration industries’ shape the housing location of refugees in cities. Based on empirical studies in Halle, Schwerin, Berlin, Stuttgart and Dresden, we bring two issues together. First, we show how a specific financialised accumulation model of renting out privatised public housing stock to disadvantaged parts of the population has emerged that increasingly targets migrant tenants. With the growing immigration of refugees to Germany since 2015, this model has intensified. Second, we discuss how access to housing is formed by informal agents. While housing is almost inaccessible for households on social welfare, the situation is even worse for refugees. This situation has given rise to a new ‘shadow economy’ for housing that offers services with dubious quality for excessive fees. Bringing these two issues together, we argue that housing provision to refugees has become a new business opportunity. This has given rise to a broad variety of ‘internal migration industries’ that provide the housing infrastructure, but also control access to housing. This not only results in new opportunities for profit extraction, but actively shapes new patterns of segregation and the concentration of refugees in particular types of disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

    Nachbarschaften des Willkommens : Bedingungen für sozialen Zusammenhalt in super-diversen Quartieren – Forschungsbericht (2021)

    Keywords: Bericht ; Ankommensinfrastrukturen ; Arrival Cities ; Diversität ; Fluchtmigration ; Migration ; Nachbarschaft ; politische und soziale Ungleichheit ; sozialer Zusammenhalt ; arrival infrastructures ; arrival cities ; diversity ; refugee migration ; migration ; neighborhoods ; political and social inequality ; social cohesion ; Sozialwissenschaften
    Abstract: Der Bericht gibt einen Überblick über die Ergebnisse des Projekts „Nachbarschaften des Willkommens", das zwischen 2017 und 2021 die Bedingungen für sozialen Zusammenhalt in Nachbarschaften mit zunehmender Diversität durch Fluchtmigration erforscht hat. Dabei ging das Projekt der Frage nach, wo Vorstellungen und Praktiken des sozialen Zusammenhalts vorherrschen, die auch neue Bewohner_innen und Nutzer_innen mit Fluchthintergrund inkludieren, und wo dies nicht der Fall ist. In diesem Kontext fragte das Projekt insbesondere danach, wo Geflüchtete, die im Quartier wohnen oder es nutzen, Zugänge zu zentralen Res- sourcen wie Wohnraum, Unterstützung, Teilhabe und Mitbestimmung erhalten und wie diese Zugänge lokal ausgehandelt, entschieden und gelebt werden. Diese Fragen wurden in vier Nachbarschaften untersucht, die unterschiedliche sozioökonomische Zusammensetzungen so- wie unterschiedlich ausgeprägte Migrationsgeschichten aufweisen.
    Abstract: The report provides an overview of the results of the project Nachbarschaften des Willkommens (“Welcoming Neighbourhoods”), which from 2017 to 2021 researched the conditions of social cohesion in neighbourhoods with increasing diversity due to refugee migration. In doing so, the project explored the question of where ideas and practices of social cohesion that include new refugee residents and users prevail, and where this is not the case. In this context, a leading research question was where refugees living in or using a neighbourhood gain access to key resources such as housing, support, and participation, and how access to these resources is negotiated, decided, and lived locally. These questions were studied in four neighbourhoods which have different socio-economic compositions and migration histories.
