Gentrification in Latin America: some notes on unity in diversity
Various spatial practices have been subsumed under the label "gentrification," inadvertently often giving two false impressions: first, that the displacement of low-income residents in the wake of a process of renovating houses in so-called blighted areas and the arrival of upper-class newcomers is something new in urban history; second, that the same processes and dynamics can be found everywhere in the world. Both assumptions must be strongly challenged. In this commentary, the author discusses to what extent the contributions in this special issue challenge these assumptions, and points to further dimensions of gentrification - in particular the mainstream reaction to resistance against gentrification - that have yet to be fully debated.
