Gentrification in a Global Context Zusammenfassung

Gentrification in a Global Context: The new urban colonialism Rowland Atkinson (University of Sheffield, UK University of Sheffield, England, UK University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK)

Gentrification, a process of class neighbourhood upgrading, is being identified in a broader range of urban contexts throughout the world. This book throws new light and evidence to bear on a subject that deeply divides commentators on its worth and social costs given its ability to physically improve areas but also to displace indigenous inhabitants.

Gentrification in a Global Perspective brings together the most recent theoretical and empirical research on gentrification at a global scale. Each author gives an overview of gentrification in their country so that each chapter retains a unique approach but tackles a common theme within a shared framework. The main feature of the book is a critical and well-written set of chapters on a process that is currently undergoing a resurgence of interest and one that shows no sign of abating.

Gentrification in a Global Context Bewertungen

'[This] critical and timely book will be of great value to teachers and researchers alike ... nobody interested in the nature and impact of gentrification should miss it ... it is at the cutting edge of thought about gentrification.' - Chris Paris, University of Ulster
