This essay emphasizes what I regard as the best paths forward in gentrification studies. Just over 50 years after Ruth Glass coined the term "gentrification" (1964), this is an opportune moment to consider the future trajectory of gentrification research. Given its tradition of publishing cutting edge approaches to gentrification, City & Community is an ideal venue in which to consider next steps and to wrestle with the broader contributions of gentrification scholarship to theories of neighborhood change.I recommend four new directions in gentrification scholarship: bridging methodological divides; conducting policy evaluation research; explicitly investigating advanced or "super" gentrification (Lees 2003) as it gains increasing traction in select cities; and, finally, making resistance to gentrification an explicit object of study. Together, these new approaches will fill gaps in the literature, seize on underdeveloped facets of the current body of research, and position scholars to keep pace with changes occurring in many cities. By keeping pace with empirical developments, and by calling us to think about the relationship between concentrated affluence and poverty, these directions will better enable gentrification scholarship to set the agenda for consideration of neighborhood change.

“…It could be expected that entrepreneurs have greater choice over housing and neighbourhood than others by virtue of higher level of education and occupational status (Solari, 2012). On the one hand, business owners may choose neighbourhoods that provide the resources they require to support their business.…”

The importance of housing and neighbourhood resources for urban microbusinesses

Economic research has rarely considered the significance of the home and neighbourhood context of where business owners live for their business. Conversely, urban and neighbourhood research has overlooked how housing and neighbourhood shape business and entrepreneurship outcomes. This paper investigates the importance of housing and neighbourhood resources for microbusinesses using a random sample of microbusinesses in Edinburgh (UK) including those that are informal and homebased, and various characteristics of the neighbourhood in which the business owner lives were attached to the survey records. The data capture whether business owners have business premises outside their homes, and have used neighbourhood contacts, housing equity or space in the house for their business. In short, housing and neighbourhood resources are used by a large majority (82%) of microbusinesses. The findings challenge a number of common assumptions on the separation of commercial and residential functions, how neighbourhoods feature in the evolution of businesses, the nested conceptualization of home within a neighbourhood and on the nature of home-based businesses. It is concluded that multi-use (rather than mixed-use) neighbourhood planning would help foster more flexible and dynamic use of neighbourhoods and urban districts, although recognizing that this is a political issue.

“…While essential to studies of urban neighborhoods and crime, focusing on the distribution of disadvantage across neighborhoods had the unintended consequence of removing attention from the theoretical relationships between ecological change, social disorganization, and crime originally suggested by Shaw and McKay (1969). Most contemporary research examines the harmful effects of neighborhood concentrated disadvantage through cross-sectional studies of neighborhoods with varying degrees of disadvantage (though see Solari 2012), but rarely acknowledges that this new type of disadvantage differs in a critical way from that depicted by Park et al (1967) or Shaw and McKay (1969). Traditionally, poverty was linked to higher crime rates through processes that promoted neighborhood change; for example, higher population mobility, weaker community attachment, and less social control.…”

The Dynamics of Neighborhood Structural Conditions: The Effects of Concentrated Disadvantage on Homicide over Time and Space

Several recent spatial analyses conclude the strong positive association typically found between neighborhood concentrated disadvantage and crime in cross‐sectional studies significantly differs across neighborhoods. It is possible this spatial variation is due to within‐neighborhood dynamics of continuity and change, as suggested by ecological theories of neighborhood crime. Using ordinary least‐squares and geographically weighted regression models, I explore the role of within‐neighborhood change on the disadvantage‐homicide relationship across Chicago neighborhoods and find that controlling for historical changes in disadvantage within neighborhoods reduces—but does not eliminate—spatial variation in the cross‐sectional relationship. Within‐neighborhood changes in concentrated disadvantage from 1970 to 2000 are positively related to homicide rates, net of the level of disadvantage in 2000. This suggests the relationship is influenced to some degree by temporal continuity or change in the neighborhood ecological structure, consistent with the dynamic conceptualization of neighborhoods inherent to ecological theories of crime like social disorganization.
