“…Particularly converted dwellings in the nineteenth century belt around the historical centre are increasingly inhabited by native‐Dutch residents. This seems to fit broader trends of gentrification in these areas (Teernstra & Van Gent ), which is –still – primarily associated with the influx of white middle classes.…”

“…Consequently, social rental waiting periods have increased and housing prices have gone up. Affluent areas such as the historic city centre and the prewar Oud‐Zuid area south of it show increasing housing prices, while other nineteenth‐century neighbourhoods have also seen above‐average increases (Teernstra & Van Gent ).…”

Privatisation and liberalisation of the housing market are often used as governmental strategies for engineering the social composition of urban neighbourhoods. Drawing on longitudinal register data, this study reports findings from the highly‐regulated housing context of Amsterdam. Through regression modelling and GIS analyses, we demonstrate that tenure conversions from rent to owner‐occupancy are not just bringing about changes in social‐class composition, but also affect the ethnic and demographic compositions. Moreover, conversions from rent to ownership have highly spatially‐specific effects. Our evidence suggests that tenure conversions may contribute to gentrification in the inner‐city of Amsterdam, while conversions in post‐war neighbourhoods do not lead to a social upgrading and may even facilitate downgrading. Furthermore, trends in the converted section of the housing market are not just mirroring income developments but also seem to reflect trends in ethnic segregation and demographic trends such as a renewed interest among families to live in the inner‐city.

“…The built environment is upgraded, prices rise, the population changes, sometimes the demographics change too, the range of commercial facilities changes, and so on and so forth. These indicators sometimes lead and sometimes lag each other; there is no fixed order [23][24][25][26][27].…”

Abstract:The study is related to the city of Rotterdam, investigated in relation to the spatial changes caused by the massive immigration that took place since the 1940s and of which contemporary spatial planning is taking place. The urban regeneration program, promoted by the Municipality of Rotterdam, provided for the reconnection of the district to the urban dynamics of the city and the improvement of public spaces and private accommodation to encourage a process of social gentrification. The social challenges that characterize contemporary cities, especially caused by the violent immigration, have defined a new urban paradigm and new forms of collaboration; as urban planners, we must continue to promote the formation of inclusive, multi-faceted and multitasking cities that are able to capture the diversity of sociality that inhabits the strategic character that makes them different and unique and to experiment welfare and social governance models that allow the shared experience within the urban analyzed contexts; only by making the immigrants protagonists of sociality and of urban civilization can we build stainless cities that resist to climate change and above all to social changes.

“…In addition to the central role of policy in shaping gentrification, there are many other unique factors in Dutch gentrification, most notably the comparatively strong role for central and local governments, and the role of housing associations, which remain important players in urban housing markets (see Teernstra & van Gent ). As several papers in this special issue will illustrate, the role of housing associations as a primary stimulator of gentrification is growing (see Boterman & van Gent ; Huisman ).…”

Gentrification is a process of social and spatial change, but it is also a changing process. This special issue aims to better understand new forms of gentrification, policies and experiences which have emerged since the year 2000. Specific emphasis has been given to the Netherlands, a country where the strong role of the state and more than two decades of pro-gentrification policy have created a unique context where gentrification is pursued, implemented and experienced in different ways than in the Anglo-Saxon world. Research into Dutch gentrification has led to new theoretical insights in the past and the papers in this special issue should present international readers with new and alternative perspectives towards contemporary gentrification, thereby contributing to a wider understanding of the 'geography of gentrification'. This introduction will examine new spatial and social manifestations of gentrification over the past decade, examine what binds them together as part of the gentrification process, introduce Dutch gentrification and outline the papers featured in this special issue.
