“…In Cuenca, Ecuador and Cusco, Peru, for example, gentrification of the historical center was manifested in the transformation of private houses into tourist facilities such as hotels, restaurants, bars, discotheques, travel agencies, shopping boutiques, internet bars and call centers (Steel, 2012;van Noorloos and Steel, 2016). In several Latin American cities we observe similar examples of commercial gentrification where land use change is related to anticipated land value increases, real estate purchases by foreigners as well as the creation of leased retail space by private investors (Schlack and Turnbull, 2014;Steel, 2012;Klaufus and Jaffe, 2015), or temporary shelter for tourists as in San Telmo in Buenos Aires (Herzer et al, 2014). 1…”

“…Especially in the Latin American context, studies on gentrification have gained ground (e.g. Ward, 1993;Jones and Varley, 1999;Janoschka et al, 2014;Schlack and Turnbull, 2014;López-Morales et al, 2016). In general, these studies show local peculiarities that do not fit the western model of gentrification.…”

The urban land debate in the global South: New avenues for research

2017

The global 'land grab' debate is going urban and needs a specific conceptual framework to analyze the diverse modalities through which land commodification and speculation are transforming cities across the globe. This article identifies new avenues for research on urban land issues by drawing on an extensive body of academic literature and concrete cases of urban land transformations in Asia, Latin America and Africa. These transformations are analyzed by focusing on three types of urban investments-investments in property, investments in public space and public services, and investments in speculation, image building and 'worlding'-and the way these investments are intermingled with and enhanced by processes of gentrification and speculative urbanism. Addressing real estate and infrastructure investments, speculation and gentrification through a land-based lens allows us to deepen the discussion on urban land governance in the global South. We argue that urban land acquisition cannot be thoroughly understood in isolation from the workings of urban real estate markets, public policies, and displacement processes. The urban land grab debate needs to consider the dialectic interplay between land use change and general socio-spatial transformations both in central-or recentralized-and peripheral areas. This is why we plea for a kaleidoscopic perspective on urban land governance by uncovering the complex patchwork of urban land acquisitions and their diverse temporalities and spatialities, their hybrid character in terms of actors involved, and the multiple and often unpredicted ways in which urban dwellers try to gain control over and access to urban land.

“…In urban England, where many leading universities exist, many gentrification products are residential for students: student flats or apartments(D. P. . Gentrification products can even be modern shops, as in Chile (Schlack & Turnbull, 2018). The most common trend now is the emergence of gentrification in tourist areas.…”

The trend of the birth of new residential areas in the branding of modern cities, such as Meikarta, also occurs in cities worldwide. People call it: GENTRIFICATION! Like a catastrophe, gentrification always seems to be followed by the emergence of social conflicts. Mass actions are taken to the streets to voice protests against vandalizing gentrification properties, and clashes with officials are carried out for one purpose: against the presence of gentrification. Unfortunately, gentrification research in Indonesia is roughly "useless" for blue-collar workers because it still does not provide any suggestions to face this problem. Rather than researching to celebrate gentrification, research with a Marxist perspective is needed to make a real contribution to urban blue-collar workers constantly haunted by the threat of being evicted from their modest homes.

“…Key to this emergence was Zukin et al's (2009) discussion of "boutiquing" in New York City, in which they called attention to the displacement of local retail stores and services due to gentrification. Interestingly, patchy as it is, the literature on commercial/retail gentrification that has developed spans the globe (see Pascual-Molinas and Ribera-Fumaz 2008;Schlak and Turnbull 2015;Zukin et al 2016, etc.). Indeed, Mermet (2017), focusing on the Marais in Paris, links the recent reconfigurations of retail capital (concentration, internationalization, and financialization) and the more generalized contemporary gentrifications that are experienced in cities around the world.…”

In this paper, we investigate the ethnic politics of commercial gentrification. We discuss how ethnicity is conceived of, managed by, and integrated into urban policy; and how the changing ethnic composition of the neighborhood is perceived and lived by entrepreneurs with different ethnic and class backgrounds. We employ the notion of "mixed embeddedness," coined by Kloosterman et al., to understand the changes gentrification brings about for ethnic minority entrepreneurs and to explain their responses to these changes. Using the case study of a gentrifying street in Amsterdam, namely, Javastraat in Indische Buurt, we draw on an analysis of ethnic packaging at the policy level as well as in depth interviews with ethnically Dutch and ethnic minority entrepreneurs. Our findings shed light on how ethnic minorities survive and manage commercial gentrification on their doorsteps as well as the complexity of social mixedness in gentrifying neighborhoods.
