Description
Summary:Not only since the Covid-19 pandemic, rural areas have received new attention as supposedly healthier and attractive places of residence. Regions previously characterized as shrinking are experiencing a highly selective influx of urban middle-class households and an increase in real estate and rental prices. These influxes and housing market developments raise the question of value increase and displacement. English-speaking, and especially British, human geographers have been studying the phenomenon of ”rural gentrification” for several decades. This article therefore aims to systematize this state of the art in terms of its conceptual framework and empirical objects. Based on this, the article explains possible connections for German research on rural gentrification and discusses starting points for future research.
