More about the book
Gentrification is portrayed as a complex phenomenon intertwined with broader shifts in the late twentieth-century political economy and culture, rather than merely a result of middle-class preferences. The author provides a detailed examination of the conflicts arising in urban areas, highlighting the failures of liberal urban policies and the impact of financial downturns. This environment has exacerbated challenges for minorities, the working class, and the homeless, framing gentrification as a tool of systemic inequity in the evolving urban landscape.
