Battle for the City

1h 15m

A documentary about two cities, Turku past and present. They are united by a constant struggle over who owns the city and how and under what conditions it will change. What was Turku like before it disappeared when the cityscape was modernized and the old was destroyed? How did that happen? Who benefited from it? What kind of disease was the Turku disease? And how are young people today trying to take control of urban space? Why are they occupying buildings? Who does the built environment belong to and who decides on it?
