The Aesthetics of Neighborhood Change explores cultural shifts that
result from gentrification and redevelopment, showing how cultures
of racially and economically marginalized groups are appropriated
or erased by the introduction luxury real estate and retail
branding. The book explores the literal and symbolic shifts in
ownership that are happening in urban locations undergoing
redevelopment and demographic shifts. As lesser discussed
manifestations of these shifts, cultural symbols of leisure,
tourism and elite consumption can be witnessed as cities work to
reshape their landscapes through real estate, retail, and public
space development. Aesthetic changes often show up in the form of
boutique coffee shops, distilleries, high-end restaurants, retail
flagships, and more. Through careful branding and visual design,
the new spaces and places become recognized as signs of
exclusivity. This exclusivity also emerges in public spaces through
local, informal retail practices like street vending, food trucks
and outdoor markets. As these changes take shape, more affluent
groups replace and displace the cultural practices of existing
groups. These changes send tangible, observable messages of
neighborhood change which signal the race and class profiles of the
desired incoming population who can afford to participate in the
redeveloped landscape. Developing a discourse on how to better
observe and analyze signs of exclusion in the built environment,
The Aesthetics of Neighborhood Change will be of great interest to
scholars of community development, social mobilization, urban
studies and design, and urban planning and development. The
chapters were originally published as a special issue of the
Journal of Cultural Geography.
