Description

Planetary Gentrification explores how gentrification has become a global phenomenon, affecting cities worldwide in complex and often unjust ways. Drawing on comparative urbanism and planetary urbanization studies, this book challenges Western notions of urban development by examining gentrification in diverse contexts. The authors' critical political economy approach reveals the intricate relationships between urbanization, inequality, and social justice. By looking beyond traditional cases to non-Western examples, they demonstrate that gentrification has unfolded on a planetary scale, defying simplistic North-South or West-East trajectories. This book is essential reading for scholars and students interested in global urban studies, as well as those committed to social justice in cities.
