Neighbourhood trajectories in Stockholm: Investigating the role of mobility and in situ change

“…This is an important result considering that our definition of neighbourhood change is rather conservative, as it is based on change of the five neighbourhood types we identified. This was particularly the case in the inner-city districts of Östermalm and Vasastaden, echoing a general trend of gentrification of city centres (Bailey et al, 2017;Hochstenbach & Musterd, 2021). Such upgrading neighbourhoods are typically adjacent or close to stable elite areas, which suggests a process of spatial diffusion of neighbourhoods' elite character.…”

“…Yet, the various processes of neighbourhood change are connected, notably the gentrification of city-centre neighbourhoods and the decentralisation of neighbourhood deprivation. It is therefore important to study different types of neighbourhood transition simultaneously (Hochstenbach & Musterd, 2021).…”

El avance de la gentrificación en Barcelona y Madrid, 2011-2019: análisis socioespacial a partir de un índice de gentrificación

“…En los márgenes territoriales de ambos municipios se encuentran los barrios que apenas han registrado cambios en las dimensiones contempladas en este estudio. Estos barrios corresponden a ámbitos de ingresos predominantemente bajos en los que se están experimentando otro tipo de dinámicas, asociadas a menudo con la llegada y concentración de población con más factores de vulnerabilidad (Porcel et al, 2018;Hochstenbach y Musterd, 2021). Muchos de los barrios con un índice de gentrificación más bajo pertenecen a Madrid.…”

“…Por un lado, las ciudades centrales refuerzan su carácter excluyente en un escenario de marcada revalorización vinculada a la concentración de nuevas actividades productivas y de innovación. Por el otro lado, los grupos socioeconómicos más vulnerables serían desplazados y concentrados en espacios periféricos, normalmente privados de un buen acceso a diferentes tipos de servicios (Bailey y Milton, 2018;Hochstenbach y Musterd, 2021).…”

Tense Housing Markets: Displacement and Residential Location Decisions in Berlin

“…At the same time, they point out the frequently successful strategies (such as flat-sharing) of poor inner-city households to stay. Employing a similar methodology, the authors provide additional insights into the "suburbanisation of poverty" in a recent study on Amsterdam and Utrecht and claim that this phenomenon is inextricably linked to gentrification processes elsewhere in the city (Hochstenbach and Musterd 2021). The above-mentioned studies, however, contain no information on the reasons for moving and cannot therefore prove direct displacement.…”
