- Concepts Discussed:
- Gentrification and urban redevelopment are cycles of capital investment in urban real estate.
- Gentrification involves convergence of apartments into condominiums, renovation of homes, influx of upscale residents, and displacement of lower-income residents.
- In London, gentrification involves appropriation of large Victorian houses or conversion into apartments and studios.
- Waterside developments are a consistent feature of contemporary gentrification in many cities.
- Disinvestment leads to decay of housing stock and community environment, which can later attract capital for redevelopment.
- Gentrification can lead to racial sorting and displacement of lower-income and minority residents.
