“…However, other studies have suggested that the share of minorities that gentrifiers favor for such diversity is limited (Bader 2011; Berrey 2005; Gale 1979; Hwang and Sampson 2014). Survey evidence on the residential preferences of the general population has found that people prefer integrated neighborhoods but favor white neighbors the most, black neighbors the least, and Asian over Hispanic neighbors in the middle (Charles 2003).…”

Few studies have considered the role of immigration in the rise of gentrification in the late twentieth century. Analysis of U.S. Census and American Community Survey data over 24 years and field surveys of gentrification in low-income neighborhoods across 23 U.S. cities reveal that most gentrifying neighborhoods were “global” in the 1970s or became so over time. An early presence of Asians was positively associated with gentrification; and an early presence of Hispanics was positively associated with gentrification in neighborhoods with substantial shares of blacks and negatively associated with gentrification in cities with high Hispanic growth, where ethnic enclaves were more likely to form. Low-income, predominantly black neighborhoods and neighborhoods that became Asian and Hispanic destinations remained ungentrified despite the growth of gentrification during the late twentieth century. The findings suggest that the rise of immigration after 1965 brought pioneers to many low-income central-city neighborhoods, spurring gentrification in some neighborhoods and forming ethnic enclaves in others.

“…Taken as a whole, we see that although diversity as an abstract value is widely embraced, the appeal of integration and diversity is not in its ability to transform the system of racial inequality that persists in the United States (e.g., Berrey 2005;Downey 1999). In the kind of diversity captured by the ideal neighborhood results, and the explanations provided especially by Whites for why it is desirable, there are similarities and reflections of what Bell and Hartmann (2007) referred to as "Happy Talk."…”

The Diversity of Integration in a Multiethnic Metropolis

Although there is little debate that Census data reveal declines in standard measures of segregation over the past several decades, depending on who you ask, racial residential segregation is either just about gone or is stubbornly persistent. In this study, we draw attention to how the murkiness in the conceptualization of what has replaced 'segregation' and the related question of what integration is, contributes to this disagreement. Through an analysis of attitudes toward racially integrated neighborhoods, we demonstrate the pitfalls of our lack of consistency and clarity about the conceptual and operational definition of integration. Our analysis reveals the diversity of attitudes toward integrated communitiesdepending on who is asked, and what kind of integration is considered-and points to a fragility of commitment to the ideals of integration. We do this by using an innovative survey dataset that includes both open and closed-ended questions asked of a large probability sample of Whites, African Americans, and Latinos living in the Chicago metropolitan area. The survey asked individuals to describe their ideal neighborhood racial/ethnic composition and explain why it was ideal; they were then asked to describe (and explain) their least desired neighborhood racial/ethnic composition. Juxtaposing the results, we reveal that integration is both enthusiastically endorsed and much maligned-even within the same person-and that whether it is good or bad very much depends on the type of integration. We argue that appreciating the diversity of integration attitudes is critical if we are to develop a more nuanced understanding of future patterns of residential stratification in our increasingly diverse nation.

“…According to the relationship between these variables, four factors that appear of gentrification characteristic is revitalizing the area, social changes, changes in population, and segregation or segmentation. These characteristic factors affirm the synthesis of the theory of Smith (1979), Bourne (1982), Berrey (2005), and Warde (in Smith, 2002) as described in Table 1.…”

The authors study the effect of development in Tembalang post relocation of the Diponegoro University in 1995, and establish that social, economic and physical changes occurring demonstrate establishment of gentrification in the city. The study also assesses the effect of gentrification. The study uses quantitative and qualitative methods, applied on 130 dwellers as sample unit, and utilizes Discriminant Analysis to classify the gentrification characteristic, both using questionnaire and observation. The authors conclude that development in Tembalang demonstrates gentrification that is identified based on social change, changes in population, tendency of segregation, and area's revitalization. Socially, gentrification has made Tembalang become more crowded; differences in dweller's behaviour of home rented-newcomers and homeownernewcomer and declining level of morality in Tembalang's youth are also studied. Economically, effects of gentrification is demonstrated in over 65% population as economic condition have improved due to increase of business opportunities, rapid growth in trade and service activities in the main street corridors. The authors also show that gentrification leads to increased congestion and increased criminal activities. Physically, gentrification has decreased available green space although improvement in aesthetics in terms of architecture, cleanliness, and building permanency are observed. Disparity in infrastructure services distribution is also observed on account of gentrification. 1995 Diponegoro Tembalang 130 Tembalang Tembalang Tembalang 65
