Zurich Residents Near Koch-Areal & Oerlikon - Gentrification Stories

Looking for suggestions and participants Hi everyone! :) A few days ago I asked here about places in Zurich where I could explore questions around human condition in Zurich and most of the people suggested to explore urban change, and several of you mentioned Koch-Areal, Oerlikon and other areas where the city is changing quite rapidly. I’m currently in Zurich for a photography project focused on the human condition particularly on how people experience changes in the places they live, work and spend time in gentrification Rather than simply photographing buildings, I’d really like to meet and listen to people who have a personal connection to these places. If you live around Koch-Areal, used to spend time there, were involved in the alternative/cultural scene, work nearby, or simply have a story about how the area has changed, I would love to hear from you. OR other mentioned districts I’m not looking for “the right answer” or trying to prove a particular point. I’m interested in different experiences positive, negative, complicated or somewhere in between. If you’d be comfortable, I’d also love to meet for a coffee or a short walk around the area and hear your perspective. With your permission, I may also make some photographs as part of the project. And if you know someone else whose story might be relevant, I’d be very grateful if you could connect us. Thank you to everyone who originally pointed me towards these places your suggestions have already shaped the direction of my project.
