“…Although few studies have been able to show the link between gentrification, displacement, and health, there is existing evidence that adults over the age of 65, people with disabilities, along with single mothers and people of color, are more vulnerable to displacement due to gentrification (Bacqué et al 2011;Betancur 2011;Mehdipanah et al 2017b). In particular, with increasing rents and the potential physical changes needed to facilitate mobility, seniors and people with disabilities, often on fixed-incomes, can face pressures from existing landlords to either adjust or move (Atkinson 2000;Biro 2007). When unable to cope, displacement can expose this population to further discrimination when looking for new homes (Danermark et al 1996;Fan 2010) and worsen their mental and physical health due to the potential separation from existing social networks in the neighborhoods (Barrett 2013;Heller 1982).…”

Few studies have examined the impact of housing discrimination on health. This study explores potential pathways linking housing discrimination and health using concept mapping, a mixed-method approach. Participants included employees from twenty Fair Housing Organizations nationwide who participated in two online sessions, brainstorming, and structuring. Responses were generated representing biological, social, economic, and physical connections between housing discrimination and health. Using hierarchical cluster analysis, five clusters were identified: (1) Access and barriers; (2) Opportunities for growth; (3) Neighborhood and communities; (4) Physical effects of housing discrimination; and (5) Mental health. Clusters 1 (4.09) and 2 (4.08) were rated as most important for health, while clusters 2 (3.93) and 3 (3.90) were rated as most frequently occurring. These findings add to the limited evidence connecting housing discrimination to health and highlight the need for studies focusing on the long-term health effects of housing discrimination on individuals and neighborhoods.

“…middle-class gentrifiers or tourists) and place-based changes to social and service environments can create much uneasiness among especially long-term residents who are confronted with rapid and fundamental changes in their neighbourhood. This type of displacement has been labelled as 'hidden costs of gentrification' (Atkinson 2000), 'indirect displacement' (Davidson 2008), and 'class-based transformation of place' (Davidson 2011). As mentioned above, the result is not necessarily a move out of the neighbourhood, but an increasing sense of feeling 'out of place' among long-term residents, which may be partly counterbalanced by decreases in local crime and the opening of new stores (see e.g.…”

Both harmony and conflict may occur between local and more distant communities regarding artefacts of cultural heritage. Incoming tourism, which is attracted by cultural heritage, may provide jobs and other means of income to local residents. However, incoming tourists may also trigger or accelerate a process of gentrification in which local residents are directly or symbolically displaced by tourists. Local authorities develop governance mechanisms to address this issue, both by visioning and formulation of strategies and by issuing direct tools to regulate use of land and properties in a way that matches this vision. The paper discusses two case studies in the Netherlands, Amsterdam and Giethoorn, where communities and local authorities struggle with the threat of over-tourism. The Amsterdam case focuses on gentrification caused by tourists who rent homes as holiday accommodation through online platforms (such as Airbnb) and the governance response by the city to contain it. The Giethoorn case reveals how economic values of tourism and quality of place to live are competing in the context of a village with a distinct heritage based on a mode of production that has become marginalised. The paper aims to improve our understanding of governance responses regarding heritage-based tourism and gentrification. Based on the analysis, the paper also presents three directions for research: first, mapping relational geographies of heritage; second, developing interactive tools to bridge proximate and more distant communities in a process of place making; and third, development and evaluation of governance measures.

“…Otro ejemplo, citado en la literatura como "cercamiento urbano" y que mantiene fuertes paralelismos con las dinámicas que dieron pie a la formación histórica de la clase obrera, es el de la gentrificación (Atkinson, 2000;Smith, 2002), concepto que sintetiza una serie de procesos encaminados a la reconquista de espacios centrales a través del encarecimiento de la vivienda y los servicios del barrio, y que generan, entre otros elementos, el desplazamiento (directo e indirecto) de la población anterior y una erosión de las redes sociales de las clases populares (Blomley, 2008). En este sentido, el proceso de cercamiento no solo hace referencia a los intentos corporativos de controlar, privatizar y comercializar el espacio público, sino que se amplía a los recursos generados por la vida urbana: la cultura, el patrimonio, el capital simbólico, los estilos de vida, etcétera.…”

Universidad Politécnica de Catalunya (upc), Barcelona, España. Marc Martí-Costa. Flacso-Ecuador, Quito, Ecuador.resumen | Existe un creciente interés y una emergente literatura académica en los estudios urbanos sobre los comunes y su aplicación. Por un lado, destacan aquellas aportaciones que aplican al ámbito urbano, los estudios de Elinor Ostrom sobre las formas de autogestión de los recursos naturales de uso común. Por el otro, la literatura crítica sobre el neoliberalismo, las nuevas formas de acumulación por desposesión y las resistencias a ellas en forma de movimientos sociales también han abordado los comunes en la ciudad desde diferentes perspectivas de origen marxista. En este trabajo se ordenan y se analizan las contribuciones de ambas aproximaciones, sus puntos críticos, así como sus posibles complementariedades, para avanzar hacia una mejor conceptualización y una futura agenda de investigación sobre los comunes urbanos.
