“…Such a perspective already has a rich and productive intellectual tradition within gentrification research, arguably more so than in other strands of urban literature. Analytical frameworks have ranged from trans-Atlantic comparisons (Carpenter and Lees, 1995;Van Criekingen and Decroly, 2003), trans-continental comparisons (Slater, 2004), inter-urban national comparisons (Ley, 1996) to intra-urban comparative perspectives (Butler and Robson, 2003;Hackworth, 2002).…”

From London to Mumbai and Back Again: Gentrification and Public Policy in Comparative Perspective

Gentrification has become a global phenomenon over the last fifteen years, and has been understood as an increasingly important strategy within neoliberal policy-making.Focusing on London and Mumbai, this paper details how public policies and planning regimes have been reconfigured and rescaled to facilitate and encourage new property speculation. However, against more generalised and abstract accounts of the neoliberal city, the paper uses its comparative perspective to emphasise the geographically and historically specific manifestations and effects of gentrification processes. By highlighting different forms of state intervention and sharper socio-spatial impacts in Mumbai, the paper challenges the Eurocentric framing of a global spread of gentrification, and argues Mumbai can act as an important source of learning for gentrification research. 2Almost everywhere urban societies . . . seem to be going around in circles: they seem to be strangely slow and maladroit in dealing with the most urgent, material needs which they can well afford to meet -from the elimination of homelessness in London (a relatively small but stubborn problem) to the provision of water taps in the bustees of Bombay.

“…Aunque el proceso de gentrifi cación no ha cambiado en esencia desde los efectos conocidos de desplazamiento de población obrera o de menor ingreso, por población de clase media y alta (burguesía), así como el incremento del precio de suelo urbano analizado en las experiencias iniciales europeas (Glass, 1964); compilaciones de Appleyard (1979) y Carpenter y Lees (1995); y trabajos norteamericanos descritos por Ley (1987), Zukin (1988), Smith (1996) o Ulusoy (1998); se pueden identifi car particularidades físicas y socioespaciales de este proceso de diferenciación en la actualidad. En este sentido, este proceso es asociado con otros indicadores tales como tensiones provocadas por relaciones de género (Bondi, 1999;Smith, 2005), fragmentación del espacio urbano (Carpenter & Lees, 1995;Caldeira 2000;Lungo y Baires 2001;Hidalgo et al, 2003), formas nuevas de consumo de cultura, una nueva clase media, supergentrificadores viviendo en Londres (Butler & Hamnett 1994;Hamnett 2003Hamnett , 1991Lees 1996Lees , 1994Lyons 1996); y su relación con el proceso de globalización (Sassen 1991;Ciccolella 1999;Thompson 2001;Wyly & Hammel 2005;Rubino 2005).…”

Latino gentrifi cación y polarización:transformaciones socioespaciales en barrios pericentrales y periféricos de Santiago, Chile 1Jorge Inzulza 2 y Ximena Galleguillos 3 RESUMENGentrifi cación y segregación, son fenómenos urbanos de diferenciación social y espacial complejos y controversiales a escala global. Santiago de Chile, al igual que otras megaciudades latinoamericanas, experimentó una rápida expansión urbana con diferenciación social. Específi camente, en las últimas décadas, la gestión inmobiliaria en esta ciudad está protagonizando transformaciones urbanas en el habitar, tanto el pericentro como la periferia, generando una cercanía geográfi ca aparente entre habitantes pobres y mejor situados. Sin embargo, estas mutaciones socioespaciales parecen perder de vista la forma urbana y sus estructuras de sentido para la vida ciudadana. ¿Qué efectos tipológicos y topológicos, se pueden reconocer en el pericentro y en la periferia producto de estas transformaciones? A partir de un análisis contextual, teóri-co y empírico en dos barrios en Santiago de Chile -El Llano Subercaseaux pericentral histórico, y Parque Violeta Cousiño periférico "emergente"-se examinan estos procesos de transformación socioespacial. Los hallazgos de este análisis -sistematizados por medio de una matriz topológica y tipológica-permiten establecer distinciones que muestran tendencias a latino gentrifi cación pericentral y polarización periférica.Palabras clave: Transformación socioespacial, barrio, tipología y topología, latino gentrifi cación, polarización. ABSTRACTGentrifi cation and segregation are complex and controversial urban phenomena of social and spatial differentiation at global scale. Similar to other Latin American megacities, Santiago, Chile has undergone a rapid urban expansion with social disparities. Specifi cally, in recent decades, real estate development has modifi ed the urban lifestyle in peri-central and peripheral areas, producing a geographical proximity between low and high-income residents that needs to be debated. However, these socio-spatial transformations appear to have lost sight of the original urban fabric, as well as people's values and collective memories. Which typological and topological effects can be recognized in Santiago's peri-central and peripheral zones as a result of these changes? Based on a contextual, theoretical and empirical analysis, we discuss the socio-spatial transformations of two neighborhoods in Santiago, Chile: El Llano Subercaseaux (a historical peri-central neighborhood) and Parque Violeta Cousiño (an emergent neighborhood on the city's periphery). The research fi ndings, which are systematized by a topological and typological matrix, provide conclusions about trends in peri-central Latino gentrifi cation and peripheral polarization.

“…The gentrificaiton of London in the 1970s was ably depicted in the 'Life and Times in N1' cartoons in The Times by Marc Boxer which was a thinly-disguised caricature of the journalist Nicholas Tomalin and his ilk (Carpenter and Lees 1995). Almost entirely comprising childless singles or cohabiting couples, this group made few demands on the schooling system.…”

In this paper we draw on three studies of social class change amongst the middle classes undertaken in London over the last 25 years to reflect on the changing values expressed by respondents to school choice. We argue that there has been a hardening of attitudes to school performance and a loss of middle-class autonomy towards schooling. Increasingly we note a concern to navigate the few areas of privilege in a school system designed for working class children but now expected to cater for a vastly increased and educationally-anxious middle class. We specifically address the way in which choice of school has become enshrined in legislation but has itself become constrained by the lack of places in popular schools. We argue that the consequence has been to diminish the amount of choice and ensure that 'distance from school' becomes the sole arbiter of access to most popular schools. Thus an attempt at widening access to education has in effect restricted it to those able to access the housing markets nearest to the most popular schools. Taken together with a series of policy interventions designed to circumvent middle-class families playing the system, this has in effect reduced the element of choice by forcing most parents to play for the 'safe option' in the fear of being allocated to something worse. We conclude by suggesting that this policy is unsustainable in the longer term and suggest that the government policy of building new Academies is a means of re-engineering London's system of secondary education to reflect the aspirations of those living in its recently gentrified areas.
