Abstract

This photo essay highlights the perspectives of children in Mjølnerparken, a public housing neighbourhood targeted by interventions for social mix by the Danish state. Due to the ‘ghetto legislation’ of 2018, 60 percent of the residents will be relocated as their apartments are renovated and sold to a private investor. Drawing on the concepts of evictability, homing, and un-homing, this essay illustrates how children use their neighbourhood and how their everyday life is affected by renovation and sale.
