Gentrification and Displacement: Return to the Cities
Clip: Season 1 Episode 1 | 13m 52sVideo has Closed Captions
Hallmarks of gentrification transform a neighborhood, but for whom?
Hallmarks of gentrification, like custom homes and luxury apartments, transform a neighborhood, but that’s not their major attraction for city officials. Cities have become more entrepreneurial in seeking private investment as federal funding has declined. Housing rights advocates are increasingly resisting unfair evictions as residents are beginning to ask, “For whom is the city being rebuilt?"
