Description

Gentrification, a process of class neighbourhood upgrading, is being identified in a broader range of urban contexts throughout the world.

This book throws new light and evidence to bear on a subject that deeply divides commentators on its worth and social costs given its ability to physically improve areas but also to displace indigenous inhabitants. Gentrification in a Global Perspective brings together the most recent theoretical and empirical research on gentrification at a global scale.

Each author gives an overview of gentrification in their country so that each chapter retains a unique approach but tackles a common theme within a shared framework.

The main feature of the book is a critical and well-written set of chapters on a process that is currently undergoing a resurgence of interest and one that shows no sign of abating.
