Under contemporary capitalism the extraction of value from the
built environment has escalated, working in tandem with other urban
processes to lay the foundations for the exploitative processes of
gentrification world-wide. Global gentrifications: Uneven
development and displacement critically assesses and tests the
meaning and significance of gentrification in places outside the
`usual suspects' of the Global North. Informed by a rich array of
case studies from cities in Asia, Latin America, Africa, Southern
Europe, and beyond, the book (re)discovers the important
generalities and geographical specificities associated with the
uneven process of gentrification globally. It highlights
intensifying global struggles over urban space and underlines
gentrification as a growing and important battleground in the
contemporary world. The book will be of value to students and
academics, policy makers, planners and community organisations.
