At the beginning of the twenty-first century, proclamations rang out that gentrification had gone global. But what do we mean by 'gentrification' today? How can we compare 'gentrification' in New York and London with that in Shanghai, Johannesburg, Mumbai and Rio de Janeiro? This book argues that gentrification is one of the most significant and socially unjust processes affecting cities worldwide today, and one that demands renewed critical assessment.

Drawing on the 'new' comparative urbanism and writings on planetary urbanization, the authors undertake a much-needed transurban analysis underpinned by a critical political economy approach. Looking beyond the usual gentrification suspects in Europe and North America to non-Western cases, from slum gentrification to mega-displacement, they show that gentrification has unfolded at a planetary scale, but it has not assumed a North to South or West to East trajectory the story is much more complex than that.

Rich with empirical detail, yet wide-ranging, Planetary Gentrification unhinges, unsettles and provincializes Western notions of urban development. It will be invaluable to students and scholars interested in the future of cities and the production of a truly global urban studies, and equally importantly to all those committed to social justice in cities.

还是应该多感受几波这样的降维打击。

gentrification的研究真的是走了很远了啊，和urbanism一样都已经到planetary的程度了。可惜还是以urban为主了

算是这个领域最新的书了，结合后殖民主义批判的理论（anaya roy，jeniffer robinson等的批判），提出comparative urbamism的方法论。分析工具本质上还是哈维。把gentrification的定义继续扩大到城市更新以及巨型活动（世界杯、奥运、亚运会等）。一本好书。可以按自己喜欢的区域（欧美、拉美、亚洲选着读），当然中国是本书的重头戏。
