Description
Summary:Responding to this issue, the book includes various lenses to view the urban transformations outside of the 'usual suspects', discussing how gentrification is framed in particular contexts and drawing from the new literatures on comparative urbanism and policy mobilities. Bringing together research from numerous continents to show the growing significance of urban planning and policies in order to address growing inequality in many urban areas, this book provides a deep, case-oriented, empirical lens to view the processes of gentrification. The book prompts the reader to question what the central processes of gentrification are, and, as the authors note, what is needed now is a continued discussion which examines a new line of analysis of urban change, one which is not centred on experiences of the Global North and one which planners should be involved in at every level.
