I Am Gentrification. Confessions of a Scoundrel

Die Gentrifizierung bin ich: Beichte eines Finsterlings (original)

Is the city of Zurich suffering from ‘density stress’? What is it like to live in mega cities such as São Paulo, Mexico City and Tiflis? Filmmaker Thomas Haemmerli broaches the topics of city development, architecture, density, housing market, xenophobia and gentrification from an autobiographical perspective.
