Abstract
Advocates for racial justice who are skeptical of racial integration frequently emphasize the disproportionate burdens that integration places on people of color, pointing, for example, to the fact that integration programs often focus on moving people of color into White communities, schools, and workplaces rather than the reverse. Despite renewed philosophical attention to the issue of racial integration, this concern about "one-way" integration has not been adequately addressed. This is surprising, since processes of gentrification have seen increasing numbers of White people moving into communities of color, reversing the mid-century trend of "White flight." In this paper, I argue that, despite serious injustices associated with gentrification as it has unfolded, the trend holds some promise for a more equitable approach to integration, provided that it can be uncoupled from its role in initiating processes that lead to the displacement and exclusion of long-term residents. Resisting these effects, I argue, requires strong and effective democratic institutions at the city and neighborhood levels. With this in mind, I conclude with a brief review of some policy measures that might reinforce such institutions, focusing on community land trusts as a promising possibility for facilitating equitable racial integration.

Klappentext: "Analysing the causes and effects of widespread gentrification, this Advanced Introduction provides an innovative insight into the global debate instigated by this process. Examining the impact of gentrification on lower income groups and other issues, Chris Hamnett discusses research into the socio-economic causes and effects of gentrification in a variety of cities worldwide. Key features include : A detailed examination of both contemporary and historical sources ; Exploration of the history, geography and development of gentrification and some of its more recent forms ; Chapters covering a selection of central topics including urban displacement and social class change. Composed of succinct but highly informative chapters, this engaging Advanced Introduction will prove to be an essential read for urban geography, urban studies and planning students as well as scholars with a particular interest in urban sociology and social policy."--Front cover flap

Critical scholarship on gentrification has contributed significantly to bolstering the rights of working-class residents against the forces that price them out of the city. However, working-class residents are not the only ones who suffer from dispossession and displacement with rampant hyper-commodification of urban space. Based on the case of Seoul, I examine how new agents—tenant shopkeepers—emerged at the forefront of challenging gentrification and successfully reframed the problem of gentrification. Within the new frame, the shopkeepers who make their livelihoods by using urban spaces are pitted against the property owners who attempt to profit at the expense of their tenants. Through this case, I ask 'How can radical shifts occur in the ways that the problem of gentrification is constructed?' My answer draws upon the framing theory in the social movement literature which identifies conditions under which a radical departure from institutionalized ways and social norms can transpire even when the radical shift means challenging the entrenched power structure—in my case, the property-ownership-based rights regime. I highlight the importance of further developing a gentrification scholarship on social change that unravels the rise of new locations of resistance, particularly at a time when the advance of gentrification seems inevitable.

"Gentrification is a global process that the United Nations now sees as a Human Rights issue. This new Planetary Gentrification Reader follows on from the editors' 2010 volume, The Gentrification Reader, and provides a more longitudinal (backwards and forwards in time) and broader (turning away from Anglo/Euro-American hegemony) sense of developments in gentrification studies over time and space, drawing on key readings that reflect the development of cutting edge debates. Revisiting new debates over the histories of gentrification, thinking through comparative urbanism on gentrification, considering new waves and types of gentrification, and giving much more focus to resistance to gentrification, this is a stellar collection of writings on this critical issue. Like in their 2010 Reader, the editors, who are internationally renowned experts in the field, include insightful commentary and suggested further reading. The book is essential reading for students and researchers in urban studies, urban planning, human geography, sociology and housing studies; and for those seeking to fight this socially unjust process"--

"This book unravels the paradox of gentrification in Helsinki, Finland. Here, housing and welfare policies work well under certain conditions to prevent the worst outcomes of residential gentrification. Yet other forms of gentrification have proliferated in recent years, and local urban planning has gained a momentum in efforts to remake the urban landscape for business and tourism. Through a range of methods, each chapter approaches a different aspect of gentrification: the effectiveness of welfare policies against residential gentrification; the importance of retail gentrification and symbolic changes; the role of media and state-led tourism campaigns in promoting gentrification; the rise of vibrancy and sustainability as concepts driving regeneration; and the question of planning principles like participation in confronting gentrification. The reader will find a state system which supports a delicate balance in housing, but a local planning regime related to a more 'generalized' gentrification. The results raise questions about the limits of the welfare state in an age of global competition. While new readers of gentrification will benefit from a deep engagement with the literature, the case of Helsinki is relevant to all students of planning, social sciences, and urban studies, as well as professionals in related fields"--

Anhand der Daten einer schriftlichen Befragung wurden Zusammenhänge zwischen Wohnqualität und Ortsbindung der Akteure, die am Prozess der Gentrification in einem ostdeutschen Altbauviertel beteiligt waren, untersucht. Die Stichprobe umfasste N = 295 Personen aus dem städtischen Sanierungsgebiet Magdeburg-Buckau, die im Rahmen eines prozessbegleitenden Monitorings befragt wurden. Die wahrgenommene Wohnqualität wurde über eine adaptierte deutsche Fassung der "Residential Satisfaction Scale" (Bonaiuto et al. 1999), die Ortsbindung mit einer modifizierten deutschen Fassung der "Neighbourhood Attachment Scale" (Bonaiuto et al. 1999) erfasst. Die Befunde zeigen, dass gentrificationsrelevante Wohnpräferenzen, wie die Ästhetik der Gebäude und die Verfügbarkeit von Park- und Grünanlagen, sich bei Gentrifiern und Pionieren als signifikante Prädiktoren für Ortsbindung erwiesen. Für alle Gruppen zeigte sich die soziale Kohäsion als bedeutsamer Prädiktor für Ortsbindung. Die Wohndauer erwies sich lediglich bei den Alteingesessenen (den sozial Schwachen und den gut Situierten mit hohem Bildungsniveau) als bedeutsamer Prädiktor für Ortsbindung.

"There are always two sides to every argument. Advocating for issues that matter to you is important, but what's equally as important is understanding those issues from the other perspective. Pros and Cons: Gentrification dives deeper into this highly debated topic and provides readers with the tools and strategies to think critically and analyze the topic through an unbiased lens. Readers will learn how to use logic and facts to defend and argue against both stances while also learning how to stay empathetic and emotionally levelheaded. Book encourages, promotes, and helps build social-emotional learning (SEL) and highlights key 21st Century Skills and Content. Includes research activity, table of contents, glossary, index, author biography, sidebars, and educational matter"--
