Book Chapter
Britons in Berlin: Imagined Cityscapes, Affective Encounters and the Cultivation of the Self
2014
Overview
In contrast to the overwhelming rural and coastal/regional bias in the lifestyle migration literature we are interested in the imaginative pull and attraction of one contemporary global city, Berlin. Since unification Berlin has become a magnet for an increasingly diverse European migrant middle class, fostered — as in other parts of Europe — by intra EU freedom of movement and the creation of a distinctive European migration space (Scott 2006; Verwiebe 2004). In keeping with the broader research on intra EU migration (Recchi 2008), it appears that a significant part of middle-class movement to Berlin is due to the cultural and lifestyle attractions of the city rather than the pull of employment (Verwiebe 2011: 14–15). Lifestyle migration to Berlin is nevertheless relatively unexplored in the literature, despite the increase in overall migrant numbers and the growth in tourism which the city has experienced in recent years.
