Summary:
In the middle of the night they quickly build houses and seize land before the police destroy their fragile homes. They're squatters, families that risk the wrath of governments and property owners by building dwellings on land they don't own, and they represent one out of every ten people on the planet. Investigative journalist Robert Neuwirth lived among squatter communities from Rio to Bombay to Nairobi to Istanbul to give us an impassioned, inside view of squatter life and a glimpse into the urban future. He met people in Nairobi who built homes with their bare hands, Turkish families who plot land invasions, and children in Rio whose parents justify outfoxing the authorities as the only path to a better life. And he shows us that in cities like Rio, squatter settlements have become decent places to live for formerly landless people. Tracing the notion of private property from the enclosure movement in Europe to the settlement of the U.S., Neuwirth shows how squatting rights may actually be seen as more "natural" than the current laws practiced in the U.S. In almost every country of the developing world, the most active builders are squatters, creating complex local economies with high rises, shopping strips, banks, and self-government. As they invent new social structures, Neuwirth argues, squatters are at the forefront of the worldwide movement to develop new visions of what constitutes property and community.

Summary:
What can be done to create a mental and physical connection of the HafenCity and the river Elbe to the city of Hamburg and its inhabitants? This was the guiding idea of an international competition of 15 schools of architecture of three continents. The responsibles for the town planning of Hamburg and especially the HafenCity are convinced that the city of Hamburg has to abandon a part of its old attractive harbour and must give up the partly reserved attitude concerning the river Elbe. Consequently initiated by the architect and professor Dr. Peter Sturzebecher, Hamburg faces new ideas that have officially opened a reflection among the students and their professor about the new centre of the HafenCity and, in addition, about the second motorway bridge crossingthe harbour south of the Elbe. The resultats of the competition being presented close to the official model of the whole HafenCity in october 2003, results that are seen by thousands, have incited political courage and a certain destabilisation giving room for critical questions concerning the actual planning.
