Product Description
Product Description
This first textbook on the topic of gentrification is 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 academia and the popular press. Gentrification presents major theoretical ideas and concepts with case studies, and summaries of the ideas in the book as well as offering ideas for future research.

The best gentrification digest! La mejor sintesis sobre la gentrificación! Le meilleure topo sur la gentrification
30 May 2009
Format:Paperback
This is the best digest you will find about gentrification. It targets both specialists, researchers and simple citizens who care for social justice in the city. This book goes beyond a monographic review of gentrification process, explanation, history and future. It constitue probalby the first serious digest to comit openly with the combat against gentrification. Hopefully this will be the first step of a massive dufusion and sensitize wave.
Esta es la mejor sintesis sobre la gentrificación. Es igualmente accesible a especialistas e investigadores tanto como a simples ciudadanos preocupados por la justicia social urbana. Este libro va más allá del analisis del proceso, de las explicaciones, de la historia y del futuro de la gentrificación. Contituye lo que proablemente sea el primer trabajo serio de sisntesis sobre el tema que, se compromete al combate contra la gentrificación en todas sus formas. Ojalá este sea tan solo el primer paso de una ola general de difusión y sensibilización massiva.
Il s'agit du meilleur topo sur la gentrificaction. Ce texte est à la fois accessible aux spécialistes et chercheurs comme simplement aux citoyens qui se soucient à la justice sociale urbana. Ce manuel va au-dela de l'analyse du processus, des explications, de l'histoire et du future de la gentrification. Il constitue probablement le premier topo serieux qui s'engage dans le combat de la gentrification. Pourvu que se soit le premier pas d'une vague de diffusion et de sensibilisation massive.

Decent Study of Gentrification
11 May 2011
Format:Paperback
As an empirical study of gentrification this book is excellent; however, I must note that it is also another revision of traditional liberal ideology garbed in Marxian language. This makes the author's arguments rather weak because they too often call on the state to intervene in a process that it has purposefully made.
