Under contemporary capitalism the extraction of value from the built environment has escalated, working in tandem with other urban processes to lay the foundations for the exploitative processes of gentrification world-wide. Global gentrifications: Uneven development and displacement critically assesses and tests the meaning and significance of gentrification in places outside the ‘usual suspects’ of the Global North. Informed by a rich array of case studies from cities in Asia, Latin America, Africa, Southern Europe, and beyond, the book (re)discovers the important generalities and geographical specificities associated with the uneven process of gentrification globally. It highlights intensifying global struggles over urban space and underlines gentrification as a growing and important battleground in the contemporary world. The book will be of value to students and academics, policy makers, planners and community organisations.
“The political economy of inequality and poverty is foundational for understanding cities everywhere. This wonderfully curated volume on gentrification does this to illuminate urban realities of the global south.” Susan Parnell, African Centre for Cities, University of Cape Town
"This magnificent collection of gentrification studies interrogates this classic western-derived concept at an unprecedentedly global scale.The book profoundly extends the scope of gentrification research and reinvigorates the notion from the perspective of comparative urbanism."
Fulong Wu, Bartlett Professor of Planning UCL
"This remarkable book, edited with clarity of vision and political purpose, is sensitive to the 'new comparative urbanism' whilst arguing that to 'unlearn' how we theorise gentrification would be highly questionable. The circulation of capital and the dominance of speculative landed developer interests in cities is leading to massive displacement and social suffering, and this timely volume reminds us that these issues should be at the forefront of our inquiries."
Tom Slater, University of Edinburgh

雖然“比較城市主義”在城市研究界已經叫嚷瞭很多年,但是具體該怎麼做還是眾說紛紜。通過對gentrification做多元化的理論和經驗分析,這本書最核心的目的是通過對話把城市理論從既有的舒適領域裏解放齣來,打破“殖民主義式的”西方城市理論話語的霸權地位。換句話說,雖然書裏反思的直接對象是 gentrification的理論和過程,間接對象卻是西方城市理論對普世主義的宣稱。各章節是按照作者姓氏排序的,這也是一個彆齣心裁的安排瞭。推薦閱讀順序:Introduction - Conclusion - 感興趣的區域的經驗分析章節。
