Compared to the current scenario of the

        building, the hotel scenario does no longer
        have cameras, nor barbed  wire  along
        the  wall.  The  neighbourhood  however,
        stays the same:  the long walls around
        the  military barracks,  fences  and stop
        signs at the entrance of SeeU, signs in the
        street indicating the presence of security
        cameras, anti-theft alarms. Further, apart

        from the bar, the hotel does not add an
        amenity to the neighborhood.


        When it comes to documented migrants,
        this scenario has a welcoming programme,
        and provides housing and work  for
        newcomers.  There  is  potential  space  for
        interaction with neighboors on the street,
        in the corridors  of the building, in the
        hotel bar and in the garden.


        When looking  at  this  scenario  from an

        undocumented migrant point of view, the
        image is different. At the moment there
        might be a limited  programme for VSP
        members at SeeU, but this might change
        soon, as  the  current  occupation  is  only
        temporary.  Assuming  thus  that  they  do
        not go where  they  have no destination,
        the chances are small they will go to this

        neighborhood. Therefore in this scenario,
        we assume there are no potential spaces
        for interaction between undocumented
        migrants and other inhabitants.
