Offering an original discussion of the gentrification phenomenon in Europe, this book provides new theoretical insights into classical works on the subject. Using a thorough analysis of the diversity of the forms, places and actors of gentrification in an attempt to isolate its ‘DNA’, the book addresses the place of social groups in cities, their competition over the appropriation of space, the infrastructure unequally offered to them by economic and political actors and the stakes of everyday social relationships.
Un excellent portrait du phénomène, détaille dans sa multiplicité. Tous les chapitres ne sont pas également didactiques, mais l’ensemble reste très clair et instructif. Je recommande à toustes celleux qui voudraient s’intéresser à ce processus, trop souvent condamné en bloc comme un processus monolithique
