This book examines the roles that public space plays in
gentrification. Considering both cultural norms of public behavior
and the municipal regulation of behavior in public, it shows how
commonplace acts in everyday public spaces like sidewalks, streets,
and parks work to establish neighborhood legitimacy for newcomers
while delegitimizing once authentic public practices of
long-timers. With evidence drawn from the formerly Latino
neighborhood of Highland in Denver, Colorado, this ethnographic
study demonstrates how the regulation of public space plays a
pivotal role in neighborhood change. First, there is often a
profound disharmony between how people from different cultural
complexes interpret and sanction behavior in everyday public
spaces. Second, because regulations, codes, urban design, and
enforcement protocols are deliberately changed, commonplace
activities longtime neighborhood residents feel they have a right
to do along sidewalks and streets and within their neighborhood
parks sometimes unexpectedly misalign with what is actually
possible or legal to do in these publicly accessible spaces.
