Il contributo è dedicato al tema della creatività urbana e si concentra su due esperienze particolari nella città di Berlino. A partire da un’indagine svolta sul campo presso gli urban garden di Tempelhofer Feld e Prinzessinnengärten, questo lavoro ha l’obiettivo di riflettere sulle potenzialità di esperienze messe in atto dalle classi creative in relazione al tema della gentrification. Sulla base di quanto rilevato in tali avamposti della sostenibilità urbana, si cercherà, pertanto, di delineare un quadro generale dell’esperienza green berlinese, come uno dei segni del mutamento dell’urbanità in questa città.
