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 Context "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.
The book is aimed at undergraduates, academics and those with an
interest in urban affairs more generally. It is designed to be an
integrated introduction as well as contemporary survey on the
process with an expansive set of geographical reference points.
