The Lunik IX housing estate in Košice has a very bad reputation: It is a rundown neighbourhood of decaying buildings mostly if not entirely inhabited by Roma. There are now plans to destroy some of the worst buildings and to beautify the neighbourhood hoping to create a mixed society.
Let’s not hope it turns out like most gentrification projects, simply evicting Roma.
