Info-night on gentrification in Istanbul and anti-gentrification group Imece

Zo. 6 March 2011, 18-20uur, Info-night on gentrification in Istanbul and anti-gentrification group Imece ”A lot of neighborhoods in Istanbul became economically too valuable to be left in the hands of their inhabitants!” The ongoing gentrification in istanbul got a greedier face especially in the last 5 years with the new laws made only to protect the yuppification of the neighborhoods with the leadership of the private sector, hand in hand with the politicians. The privatization and demolition of the public places like schools, hospitals in the city to make the city center available for gentrification and create sources of income for the private sector is not a secret plan anymore but an openly declared war against the inhabitants of Istanbul. Imece is a group actively organizing in the neighborhoods and schools, hospitals etc., reclaiming the city since 2006. Imece http://www.toplumunsehircilikhareketi.org
