Patterns of retail gentrification on inner-city main streets in Stockholm: the role of privatized property ownership
This study aims to investigate the connection between property owners and shopfront retail changes on main streets, exploring the role of private property ownership in retail gentrification. Examining four inner-city streets in Stockholm between 2009 and 2018, a commercial gentrification index reveals patterns of retail gentrification. Privatization in Stockholm (1990–2010) resulted in cooperative housing associations (CHAs) becoming the dominant property owners. Retail gentrification is slightly more pronounced among CHA-owned properties. Interviews with 122 small-business owners renting from CHAs indicate that their short-term economic interests limit efforts to counteract retail gentrification, favouring its exacerbation over preserving independent retailers on main streets.
