Akademiker Explanation: The meaning and connotation of "Oberschicht" is (slightly) different than "professional classes". You can belong to the Oberschicht and be wealthy by inheritance, without necessarily being working. "Professional classes" implies that you have a qualified education (and are working). Maybe you could translate "to house the new middle and professional classes" like that: "um Wohnraum für Menschen aus den neuen Mittelschichten und Akademiker zu schaffen" Example sentence(s):
