Introduction -- Gentrification Studies on a Global Scale -- Grounding Gentrification in the Large Chinese City -- Inner-city Urbanism and the Construction of Consumer Citizenship -- Residential Relocation and the Working Class in Gentrification -- Structural Inequalities in the post-Gentrification Housing Market -- Conclusion.

This article will revisit Smith's seminal argument that gentrification is a global urban strategy. The article pays attention to the role of the state and displacement during the process of redevelopment. Through an in-depth study of a dilapidated neighborhood with concentrated migrant population in Shanghai, it is revealed that state control is behind the deterioration of the neighborhood prior to its redevelopment. Inadequate services and poor housing conditions are undeniable. Informal development has been quickly realigned by state dominance. The self-building neighborhood is eventually replaced by state-sanctioned development projects. The article echoes the debate over displacement in the West and suggests that recent urban redevelopment in China has gone beyond both the sporadic middle-class return to the city and residential changes backed up by state actions, revealing hegemonic power of the state over spatial production. Through urban redevelopment, the state attempts to regularize informal areas into new production spaces for its revenue maximization.

THE FAILURES OF LIBERAL GOVERNMENT LIE NOT IN HAVING DONE TOO MUCH BUT IN HAVING DONE THE WRONG THINGS. EITHER GOVERNMENT RETURNS TO WHAT THE CONSERVATIVES THINK ARE ITS PROPER MINIMAL FUNCTIONS--POLICING THE APARTHEID FOR WHICH THE GENTRY'S SOCIAL THEORIES ARE PREPARING US; OR GOVERNMENT WILL STRUCTURE NEW FORMS OF NONSPECULATIVE HOUSING INVESTMENT TO BRING SANITY TO THE CURRENT CHAOS.

In Paris sans le people, a book on the gentrification of Paris, Anne Clerval writes (in a French to English translation) that, "gentrification reflects the dynamics of class relationships in the urban space" (p. 10). This thesis explores this dynamic in the context of American cities and additionally points to race relations, and private-public interests' relations as other important factors in the American urban sphere. This thesis is an exploration of how capital plays a critical role in the morphology of the built environment. One of the ways that this is most obviously observed is through the commonly occurring phenomena in major cities called gentrification. In cities like San Francisco, the case study for this project, unchecked capitalism and complacent city governments have resulted in reshaped urban environments that cast the poor communities that shaped them into the wayside. This thesis seeks to encourage critical thinking about how architecture has become a tool for gentrification and displacement, a truth that the field has largely turned a blind eye to in both academia and practice, and provide insight on how it could also be used to address and redesign the way neighborhoods become "gentrified." Ultimately, this thesis takes the form of both a proposal and a critique. As a proposal, this thesis argues for a re-insertion of lower and middle-class communities back into the city through housing that is integrated into the existing urban fabric, rather than through isolated housing projects pushed to the city's outskirts. Furthermore, to create housing opportunity for these communities, this thesis proposes the use of air rights and accessory dwelling units as strategies that are a manipulation of the existing San Francisco zoning code. At the same time, while the project sets up this proposal, it is also a self-critique, which challenges architecture's own ability to "fix" social ills.
