This book examines reasons, processes and consequences of housing
displacement in different geographical contexts. It explores
displacement as a prime act of housing injustice - a central issue
in urban injustices. With international case studies from the US,
the UK, Australia, Canada, India, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, and
Hungary, this book explores how housing displacement processes are
more diverse and mutate into more new forms than have been
acknowledged in the literature. It emphasizes a need to look beyond
the existing rich gentrification literature to give primacy to
researching processes of displacement to understand the
socio-spatial change in the city. Although it is empirically and
methodologically demanding for several reasons, studying
displacement highlights gentrification's unjust nature as well as
the unjust housing policies in cities and neighborhoods that are
simply not undergoing gentrification. The book also demonstrates
how expulsion, though under-researched, has become a vital
component of contemporary advanced capitalism, and how a focus on
gentrification has hindered a potential focus on its flipside of
'displacement', as well as the study of the occurrence of poor
cleansing from a long-term historical perspective. This book offers
interdisciplinary perspectives on housing displacement to academics
and researchers in the fields of urban studies, housing,
citizenship and migration studies interested in housing policies
and governance practices at the urban scale.
