“…The category of “others” including public parks and museums, however, has not witnessed such trends with increasing distance to the city center as a result of state dominance in urban redevelopment. This phenomenon is consistent with the mix of state‐led speculative development in forming a new Downtown Los Angeles (Sims, 2016). Scott (2019a) has also described a similar pattern of urban (re)development with reference to both commercial and residential property, in many areas of the world, including parts of Asia and above all China.…”

“…As the other facet of urban spatial restructuring, the inner redevelopment has also drawn plenty of scholarly attention from the perspective of gentrification (Lin, 2015; Sims, 2016; Wu, 2016). By placing it within larger theoretical frameworks about urbanization, scholars argued that urban land redevelopment and gentrification should be understood as a “movement of capital” within the process of uneven development (Smith, 1979, 1982, 1987).…”

“…Urban land redevelopment should, therefore, be regarded as a physical counterpart of the economic and occupational class transformation toward the growth of professional and managerial workers working in financial, business, and creative services (Hamnett & Whitelegg, 2007). Moreover, Sims (2016) argued that growth machine models, global city theory, and financial restructuring, as supplements to the notion of gentrification, were helpful in a more comprehensive understanding of urban redevelopment within the nongentrifying or pregentrifying contexts.…”

The bid‐rent curve has long been recognized as a persistent law in urban and regional studies. We challenge this orthodox theory by highlighting two limitations in demystifying patterns of urban land redevelopment and rural land use utility in transitional China. Empirical evidence shows that distance still matters to both urban and rural land use transition. However, the property‐oriented and scale‐sensitive functional structure of redevelopment is not exactly what Alonso suggested. The temptation of urbanization, coupled with the resistance of rural revitalization, results in an inverted bid‐rent curve in terms of the utilization of rural housing land. The dual‐track nature of both urban–rural household registration (hukou) and land use systems contributes a lot for these unconventional findings. We can therefore summarize that transition of land use in both urban and rural China is largely institutionally driven, and the Chinese government is the dominant agent of creating a unique trajectory of spatial restructuring.

“…Furthermore, as urban populations increase, cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York are experiencing an increase in housing values and a shortage of affordable housing, resulting in the gentrification of neighborhoods largely occupied by people of color, seniors, or populations of low-income (Chronopoulos 2016;Sims 2016;Betancur 2011). Housing discrimination can contribute to this process by reducing housing choices in these neighborhoods for populations already vulnerable to gentrification effects and can limit their relocation options to often under-resourced neighborhoods (National Fair Housing Alliance 2018; Betancur 2011).…”

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.

“…This rebalancing is particularly timely, given 30 years of sustained capital export from East Asia to the Global North, especially Australia, Canada, and the USA (Ley, ). We then seek evidence of this East Asian gentrification model in Koreatown, Los Angeles (LA), which as a Korean‐American enclave undergoing gentrification (DeVerteuil et al., ; Sims, ) may be especially receptive. However, our approach does not assume, nor does it follow, the East Asian model as a mobile policy.…”

Reversing the dominant directionality: Evidence of the East Asian model of gentrification in LA's Koreatown

Reversing the usual directionality of gentrification theory and process emanating from Anglo‐American models, we work from an East Asian model of gentrification via Seoul to see whether it has been emulated in the Global North, in this case Koreatown, Los Angeles. Focusing on the style, density, scale, scope and pace of the East Asian model and using interviews with 25 Korean gentrifiers and 10 key informants alongside secondary data, the results showed a mix of explicit emulation (density, new‐build) and no emulation at all (slow pace, small‐scale, punctuated scope), yielding a distinctly hybrid, Los Angeles‐style model that builds up a wider geography of gentrification.
