“…Another network that has barely been acknowledged is the global-scape of gentrification research itself (Allen, 2008). The growth of the gentrification map has also been the result of its theoretical and conceptual language travelling from its 'core' centres of discursive production (Clark, 2005). At a transnational scale, this first occurred with the circulation of the term from its origins in London to New York during the 1970s (Smith, 2006, p. 194 …”

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.

“…Much of this work can be characterised by a number of themes. First, debates continue to rage over what is meant by gentrification (Clark 2005;Lees et al 2007;Slater 2006).…”

Recent years have seen an expansion in the work on the attitudes, beliefs and preferences of those middle class groups that that have accompanied the return of capital to many North American and Western European city centres and their surrounding urban suburbs. Yet despite this, we argue that there is little research linking gentrification to wider processes of social transformation, particularly debates over housing market decision-making, the balancing of work and life, and the gender division of labour within the household. It is to examining the interaction of these aspects of everyday life in a gentrifying area that this paper turns, using the example of Chorlton, a southern urban suburb of Manchester.2

“…This lack of research is both on the macro level, regarding how the gentrification process plays out differently in cities in different countries, and on the micro level, regarding the process inside a single neighborhood. Concerning the macro level, prominent attempts have been made by Clark [16] and Lees [15] and in the Netherlands among others by Uitermark [17] and Van Gent [18]. Another branch of the literature attempts to refine different typologies of gentrification and to dissect different groups of gentrifiers.…”

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.
