Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Oslo, Everyday Life in
the Gentrifying City offers an examination of gentrification from
below, exploring the effects of this process upon city
neighbourhoods and those that inhabit them, whether residents,
business owners and their customers, or local activists. Engaging
with recent debates surrounding immigration and the inclusion of
ethnic minorities in the city, the book takes up the question of
ethnicity and gentrification. It argues for an urban policy that
gives up the preoccupation with policies concerning the residential
mix and place transformation in favour of empowering its citizens.
A lively and engaging analysis, in which theoretical rigour is
illuminated with rich interviews and empirical content in order to
shed light on the relationship between gentrification,
displacement, and integration, Everyday Life in the Gentrifying
City will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, geography,
anthropology and urban studies.
