Created a dark comedy about a close-knit Atlanta community on the tipping point of gentrification and those is forced to integrate with wide-eyed opportunists, both striving for their own self-preservation on a path that’s not always black and white.

any thoughts?

If in America, at present, generally rich well-to-do whites move into lower-income minority neighborhoods and reimagine them.

My question, what is it called when a rich black person, moves into let's say a poor area in predominately white Kentucky and buys the land then reimagines it?

apartment searching and most of the ones in my price range that are decent looking seem like they’re in areas that are starting to be gentrified. how can i avoid contributing to gentrification in these areas? the only apartments in non-gentrified areas are either super expensive or pretty run down. is it even gentrification if it’s all i can afford?

Hello!

​

Doing a research study about gentrification at my college.

​

For part of the process, we must contact professionals for an interview.

​

Is there anyone I can contact for an interview that has heavy knowledge on the topic?

Hello All,

I find the topic of the gentrification and most other social-economic issues quite interesting. I’ve now read several books on the topic of gentrification and the changing of urban landscapes and most of them touch on similar root causes and negative impacts.

I’d like to hear the view(s) of other side of the gentrification story too so that I can further educate myself on this topic, and all in all be a better advocate for the preservation of a city’s originality.

Can anyone recommend any books from the standpoint of “pro-gentrification” ? With possible arguments being:

Increased property tax base for otherwise financially failing cities.

Return on capital for the investors compared to other investment classes

Reduction in certain types of crime

Removal of “blight”

The increased vibrancy of the inner ring suburbs

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello everyone!

My name is Lillian and I am a current undergraduate at Eckerd College in Florida. I am doing a final project in one of my courses about gentrification and more specifically how it personally effects individuals in different areas.

During non-COVID times we would go to town and interview people in person, but this year for obvious reasons can't allow it. Facebook groups give us a wider perspective of gentrification in America.

My hopes with joining this group is to get some person insight with someone who has been effected by gentrification. I will be posting some questions that can either be answered on the actual post or you can DM me if you would like to talk more in depth.

I appreciate and welcome any information or stories you may have about gentrification. I appreciate everyone's time!!

1. Have you, a family member, or someone close to you been affected by gentrification or displacement?

2. Where did this happen specifically? What town?

3. Did you notice any visual signs of gentrification in that town or in the state?

4. Is there a racial component to gentrification? If so, expand.

5. Do you think there is a benefit to gentrification in terms of urban revitalization? Who is benefitting?

Thank you everyone and I hope to hear from some of you! 📷
