“…Concurrently, once at the 'borderlands' of urban theory (Baptista 2013;Tulumello 2016b) Mendes further widened gentrification by stripping Clark's definition of the inflow of wealthier groups. This simplification has gone hand in hand with the conflation with yet another concept, financialisation (see Mendes and Jara 2018), already applied in 'semiperipheral' Southern European contexts (Rodrigues et al 2016) and imported into urban studies during the last decade or so (see Aalbers 2019a for a review). Defined as the use of real estate as asset through various financial instruments, financialisation is a more abstract concept than gentrification.…”

The global or planetary reach of gentrification has become a mainstream in critical urban studies. Yet, the ‘travels’ of a concept originated in specific places and times have often brought about a loss of explanatory and strategic power. In this article, we argue that another concept, that of articulation developed by Laclau and Mouffe, is particularly adequate to help gentrification, touristification and financialisation to travel among places and levels of abstraction. In order to make this argument, we focus on Southern Europe, whose cities had long been considered scarcely gentrifiable and where, more recently, critical urban scholarship has made large use of gentrification, touristification and financialisation to explain the impacts of crisis, austerity and afterwards economic rebound driven by real estate and tourism. We explore from a multi-scalar perspective the trajectory of Mouraria, a historical neighbourhood in Lisbon – and particularly the dimensions of housing and local politics. We show how Mouraria, during the last decade, shifted from being a ‘deviant’ case – capable of taking advantage of neoliberal regeneration policies in order to keep its social diversity and most of its long-term residents – towards one ‘paradigmatic’ of urbanisation-as-accumulation and contentious urban politics. We explain this shift by focusing on its multi-scalar determinants, concluding that present urban change in many Southern European cities should be understood as the articulation of various processes, which include gentrification, touristification and financialisation.

“…Se num primeiro momento se assiste a uma fase de gentrificação marginal, em que há uma mistura social, emancipação, criatividade e solidariedade comunitária (Caulfield 1989), rapidamente se passa para outra fase, na qual os projetos públicos de regeneração urbana e/ou as iniciativas privadas de reabilitação, quer imobiliária, quer comercial e de serviços, se apropriam do que foi produzido na fase anterior e incentivam práticas alternativas. O valor dos imóveis aumenta e estes passam a ser vendidos a uma classe social com maior poder económico, com outro estilo de vida e com habitus e práticas culturais distintos dos anteriores residentes, fenómeno a que alguns autores chamaram de supergentrificação (Atkinson et al 2017;Mendes e Jara 2018). Os espaços alternativos são, então, rapidamente capturados e comercializados, tornando o processo perverso, pois acabam por ser expulsos perante o aumento das rendas e da pressão exercida pelos proprietários imobiliários (Ley 1996;Zukin 1982) após terem contribuído para regenerar o território.…”

Entre o início da crise financeira (2007-08) e a crise pandémica (2020-), Lisboa estava no auge como destino turístico europeu da moda. Nesse período, numa singular concentração na capital portuguesa, associações e outros coletivos proliferaram como espaços alternativos, imbricando ação política e cultural. Neste dossiê, através de uma metodologia qualitativa de pendor etnográfico, mostramos que estes espaços configuram um modelo de desenvolvimento urbano próprio. Se, desde os anos 1970, os espaços alternativos têm desempenhado um papel de resistência à gentrificação em vários países ocidentais, o caso de Lisboa sobressai pelo contraste com um contexto nacional de fraca participação cívica.

“…In the case study of Parkhurst in Johannesburg, South Africa, Monare et al (2014) found that gender, age and ethnic structure, education and income levels, and the investment demand for real estate are important reasons for super-gentrification [ 9 ]. Mendes and Jara’s (2018) research on the Colina de Santana area of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, found that social polarization, spatial injustice, and the financialization of the real estate industry are the root driving factors of super-gentrification [ 10 ]. Rofe (2004) studies Newcastle, a famous steel city in Australia, and found that regional preference and the surge in luxury housing constructions also had a positive effect on super-gentrification [ 11 ].…”

The study of super-gentrification has important practical significance for maintaining social fairness, spatial justice and achieving sustainable urban development. In this article, 23 driving factors influencing super-gentrification are identified by literature research and Delphi method. Then, the 23 driving factors affecting super-gentrification are divided into four dimensions: political, economic, social and spatial dimension. On this basis, hypotheses are proposed and a structural equation model is established. Then, SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 24.0 software are used to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire data, and the model results are fitted and modified. Finally, the optimization model and path coefficient of super-gentrification driving factors are calculated. The results of the study show that political factors, economic factors, social factors, and spatial factors, all play a positive role in the development of super-gentrification. Social factors are the fundamental factors to promote super-gentrification, political factors, economic factors, and spatial factors also play a key role in the super-gentrification process.
