resumenEste artículo aporta una comprensión pormenorizada de los procesos urbanos claves que se han ido perpetuando en las ciudades latinoamericanas durante los primeros tres lustros del siglo XXI y que consisten en la reconquista de las áreas centrales y peri-centrales por parte del capital inmobiliario. Esta metamorfosis de la ciudad consolidada se ha manifestado a partir del uso habitual de tres tér-minos centrales: gentrificación, desplazamiento y desposesión. Basándose en una conceptualización del desplazamiento como proceso material, político, simbólico y psicológico, se irá fomentando una comprensión teórica de los procesos que conllevan al desplazamiento de las subjetividades , la fase contemporánea adquiere rasgos materiales y simbólicos diferentes. Como todo proceso urbano estructural, se enmarca en una modificación de los mecanismos de acumulación. Esta va, mano en mano, con la implementación de políticas urbanas de atracción de inversiones que generan nuevas posibilidades de beneficio mediante el aumento del valor del suelo, habitualmente apropiado por agentes inmobiliarios privados 2 . GentrificationEsta metamorfosis de la ciudad consolidada, que se manifiesta a partir de la actividad inmobiliaria, la llegada de nuevos colectivos y su iconografía en el espacio público, tiene ganadores y perdedores. A veces de forma nítida y otras de manera más trascendente, implica el desplazamiento, la expulsión 1

“…As the neighborhood gentrified, marginalized people experienced anxiety due to “judgment and harassment to control their use of public space—whether it is ‘the eye’ one gets while ‘just sitting and reading … in the park,’ or the ‘disgust on [people's] faces when they walk by on the streets,’ or the ‘whispers’” (Mazer and Rankin :829). Ironically, the identity of the othered may be accentuated as consumable culture even as they are being materially displaced (Janoschka and Sequera ; Betancur and Smith ).…”

Scholars have long debated the causes, processes, and effects of displacement by gentrification in global north cities and more recently around the world. Based on an ethnographic study in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, this article shows how limited liability corporations use discrete and accretive violence in the early stages of gentrification. We also document how tenants contest harassment and neglect by carrying out “limit‐acts” to make visible everyday invisible practices of intimidation and coercion and to cope with the private forces that displace them.

“…In Nordic European cities, gentrification has developed in the context of welfare‐state retrenchment, the transformation from Fordist to post‐Fordist economic structures and ‘creative‐city’ engineering (Lund Hansen et al ., ; Lund Hansen et al ., ). In Latin America, reinvestment in urban centres has occurred within the framework of the opening of economies to foreign capital in the context of military dictatorships or structural adjustments imposed by multilateral institutions (Díaz‐Parra, ), the resignification of architectural and cultural heritage for the tourism industry and the displacement of informal economies (Janoschka and Sequera, : 15).…”

Improving the habitat of residents in central‐city neighbourhoods without simultaneously gentrifying these is becoming a pressing dilemma in right‐to‐housing and right‐to‐the‐city agendas, both in the global North and the global South. This article explores what possibilities limited‐equity housing cooperativism can bring to the table. Insights are drawn from two urban ‘renewal’ processes in which limited‐equity housing cooperatives have played an important role: in Vesterbro (Copenhagen) and Ciudad Vieja (Montevideo). The article analyses the everyday politics within and around these cooperatives through a broader institutional and political‐economy lens. This approach sheds light on mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion that operate within these cooperatives, as well as on the processes through which they have been directly and indirectly implicated in the displacement of low‐income neighbours. Despite providing a grassroots housing alternative for local ‘non‐owners’, individual cooperatives participate in, and are vulnerable to, urban transformations that traverse multiple scales. They are inserted, moreover, within wide‐ranging unequal social structures that the cooperative's formal equality has limited tools to offset. The ways in which cooperatives interlink as a sector and how this sector relates to the state are two key dimensions to be considered in challenging capitalist‐space economies.
