Summary

This will be the first ever textbook on the topic of gentrification, written for upper-level undergraduates in geography, sociology, and planning. The gentrification of urban areas has accelerated across the globe to become a central engine of urban development, and it is a topic that has attracted a great deal of interest in both the academy and the popular press. Gentrification is the first comprehnsive introduction to the subject. It explains the theories surrounding gentrification and includes numerous case studies explaining how it works. The book international coverage, but also features a sharp analysis of gentrification in the United States.
