This book explores how gentrification often reinforces traditional
gender roles and spatial constructions during the process of
reshaping the labour, housing, commercial and policy landscapes of
the city. It focuses in particular on the impact of gentrification
on women and racialized men, exploring how gentrification increases
the cost of living, serves to narrow housing choices, make social
reproduction more expensive, and limits the scope of the democratic
process. This has resulted in the displacement of many of the
phenomena once considered to be the emancipatory hallmarks of
gentrification, such as gayborhoods. The book explores the role of
gentrification in the larger social processes through which gender
is continually reconstituted. In so doing, it makes clear that the
negative effects of gentrification are far more wide-ranging than
popularly understood, and makes recommendations for renewed
activism and policy that places gender at its core. This is
valuable reading for students, researchers, and activists
interested in social and economic geography, city planning, gender
studies, urban studies, sociology, and cultural studies.
