The fox and the city

It is true I can see foxes from my office. I know those animals when they are hungry can be very brave. Because the city is "under construction" all the time (even Alexanderplatz is changing with a new building in the center !) the nature of Berlin is also changing. I guess that very soon we will not be able to take pictures anymore of the wild from my window. I can see on each free parcel there will be soon concrete, here a departement store, here a stadium, here a hotel (a new one). The plan of the city is so made that they don't build to keep a patrimony they destroy to create new. Strange they want to physically erase their past. I am afraid that sooner or later Berlin will lose what made its particularity.
