But who are the real players behind the economic exploitation of urban space? What allows them to act the way they do – and how can their actions be politically and societally monitored, controlled, and thwarted?

X Properties examines the impact of financial capital on the social and cultural production of the city, its forms of relationality and subjectivity. The book is published on the occasion of the homonymous research and event project at neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK). The text contributions by Christian (Syndikat-Kollektiv), Christoph Casper, Jana Gebauer, Kathrin Gerlof, Katrin Lompscher, Louis Moreno, Raquel Rolnik & Isadora Guerreiro & Paula Freire Santoro and Pheli Sommer combine Berlin case studies with global perspectives on the de/financialisation of the city.

The journal tells the story of the development of Europacity, which generated virtually no public debate until shortly before its completion. A collage of voices documents the view of Europacity from the perspective of the neighbouring districts. The text contribution by political scientist Teresa Pullano deals with the connections between a historical-cultural image of Europe and forms of economic and political capital as they appear in Europacity.

The research and field reports were developed as part of the artistic project Am Rand von EuropaCity (2018/19), which brought residents, artists and theorists into conversation with each other through processes of ‘collective listening’.
