I'm not so sure we can claim the existence of a movement against solidere, some professionals in the field of architecture are very supportive of solidere, while others are extremely critical. But I don't think that there is a real "movement". in other instances of displacement there have been several demonstrations to stop construction and many of them worked, but all are very linked to political reasons more that social reasons
no i dont think we can call it a "movement"... activists on this subject function more as a reaction to an event, and not a consistent action against an idea... meaning, they react in demonstration or lobbying or whatever to save a building that is scheduled to be destroyed soon (a single event), but do not act and demonstrate against the bigger issue of solidere and its negative ramifications...
this is a generalization of course (meaning that of course there are exceptions), but one can notice that activists "reaction" movements are always stronger and more effective than their long term movements...
Thank you for commenting... Some further question i asked myself: Have the single-event-reaction-protests been successful until now? Could they save some of the buildings or at least bring this topic to the public?
