Chapter in book- UCL press

This chapter explores the contrasting social dynamics between Lange Reihe and Steindamm, two parallel streets in Hamburg's St. Georg neighborhood. The social tension between these streets reflects the lack of equity and freedom in certain parts of the city. By examining their histories and cultural backgrounds, the chapter seeks to understand why these streets have become dissonant and what it means for individuals to claim ownership of public spaces.
