Dear Christine,
I have a hunch that critters in general do respond to their environment
in a "natural" way. Human critters with complex notions that are backed
up by space-reducing organisational constructs and myriads of "givens"
seem to have lost their "natural" way of responding. So, one approach
(come to think of it, none other comes to my mind) is to do exactly what
your spark initiative does: expand the space for selforganisation to
unfold more freely.
The details on what swirls around "migration" vary vastly (complex) and
certainly involve various players (diversity)...what I see in Berlin is
probably not much different regarding the process: always quick fixes
trying to keep everything under control (attempting to shut down
selforganisation)...and at the same time lots of stuff that thrives
especially in families, neighborhoods, schools, businesses where those
entities act in the way complex adaptive systems do.
Opportunities for Open Space abound...you can see it when you go to
http://www.openspaceworldscape.org/
zoom in on Berlin, click on the pin and then on "start search" to get a
list of 183 os events from all those areas mentioned that have taken
place in this city...the most recent ones give you an immediate flavor
of whats going on
--Healthy work conditions-We work on it
--Children of Alcoholics-Help comes in many forms
--Yes we can! Active participation of young people in suburban and
marginalized areas
--Opportunities for humanitarian projects for Nazi-victims
Keep up your stuff in Arizona!

Thanks for the affirmation, Michael.
I often think of this issue/opportunity as migration - a naturally
occurring way that humans and critters respond to their environments.
It's the nation state thing (and in Arizona's case the state state
thing) that has contributed to the confusion around how to respond to
the inherent need to move around.
My husband's family (both the Mexican-American part as well as the
Native American part) lived in what is now Arizona long before this area
became a part of the United States, much less Arizona. There was more
open space then, although folks were still territorial.
What's the scenario in Germany? And elsewhere?
Warm wishes from monsoons in Phoenix,
Christine
