“…The paintings are antithetical to discourses of memorialization or modernization, and instead reveal something 'true' about London on the level of ontology. They recognize, as Ruth Glass did, 52 that post-war London was rich with contradiction, complexity and ambiguity. Here we may see Auerbach and Kossoff's work as what Hawkins calls 'critical creative spatialities, highlighting the way in which art offers the potential to think (and practice [sic]) space differently'.…”

This paper develops an account of post-war London from the building site paintings of Frank Auerbach and Leon Kossoff. It approaches these paintings as a visceral and embodied source of data regarding the post-World War Two landscape of bomb damaged London. It contrasts this form of knowledge with the narratives of memorialization, and order and control, which I argue characterize post-war reconstruction. In this context the paintings are read as an ontological statement about the complexity and ambiguity of the urban landscape, one which contrasts with historical and contemporary narratives of the urban built environment. The paper posits that knowledges which preserve the complexities and materialities of urban space have the potential to provide political interventions into both historical and contemporary narratives of the city.

“…The term gentrification was coined in the 1960s by sociologist, Ruth Glass. In its genesis, gentrification was viewed as neighbourhood-level phenomena (Johnson-Schlee, 2019). In these earlier developments, the process of urban enhancement was limited to the middle-class rehabilitating their existing dwellings and properties (Johnson-Schlee, 2019;Saracino, 2010).…”

“…In its genesis, gentrification was viewed as neighbourhood-level phenomena (Johnson-Schlee, 2019). In these earlier developments, the process of urban enhancement was limited to the middle-class rehabilitating their existing dwellings and properties (Johnson-Schlee, 2019;Saracino, 2010). This local reinvestment led to an influx of affluent residents that eventually replaced working-class residents.…”

<p>This paper builds from the knowledge of the causes, developments and consequences of gentrification and identifies areas susceptible to the activity in the City of Toronto. This was achieved by examining theoretical and observational studies incorporating GIS and statistical modeling broadening the analysis of gentrification. A PCA and K-means cluster analysis revealed a grouping of 168 census tracts (36%) in Toronto that consisted of a significant influx of creative industries and had a significant decrease of Black residents from 2006 to 2016.</p> <p>A quantitative analysis was developed from the resulting clusters to detect similar scales of gentrification. The author links how state-led interventions and artistic activities appear to be strong precursors of gentrification, directly driving investment and disinvestment and ultimately displacing vulnerable populations throughout the city of Toronto neighbourhoods. Connecting gentrification to policy and activities allows policy makers to allocate resource that encourage economic opportunity, emphasize meaningful community involvement and resist new policies that intensify displacement.</p>
