Gentrification Is Inevitable and Other Lies Kern Leslie
How Gentrification is killing our cities, and what we can do about itWhat does gentrification look like? It is a question of class? Can we even agree that it is a process that replaces one community with another?
Who does it affect the most? Or of economic opportunity? Is there any way to combat it?
Leslie Kern, author of the best selling Feminist City, travels from Toronto, New York, London, Paris and San Francisco and scrutinises the myth and lies that surround this most urgent urban crisis of our times.First observed in 1950s London, and theorised by leading thinkers such as Ruth Glass, Jane Jacobs and Sharon Zukin, this devastating process of displacement now can be found in every city and most neighbourhoods. Beyond the Yoga studio, farmer's market and tattoo parlour, gentrification is more than a metaphor, but impacts the most vulnerable communities.
