description <p>In Germany, strategies of “social mixing” aiming at the development of “disadvantaged” neighborhoods have been widely established in urban politics. Such strategies are oriented towards attracting middle class residents and therefore are discussed as drivers of displacement and exclusion of “the disadvantaged”. In our paper, we analyze such urban transformation processes focusing on the productivity of racial classifications. We present results of a research project in which we examine the appropriation of urban resources (such as housing, neighborhood infrastructures, and public spaces) by residents in such quarters. Using an interactivist approach “from below” and qualitative research methods, our case study on the former “declining”, currently “stagnating” quarter Essen-Altendorf shows the productivity of racial classifications in the residents' negotiations on “rules” in the closer neighborhood or on the use of public spaces. Yet, racializing articulations correspond with the policies of social mixing as well as with the observed selective policing of a “dangerous quarter”.</p>
