“…In gentrification, the local people may be forced to leave by the economic pressure brought by the new class. Consequently, the accumulated cultural memory formed by the previous local people gradually disappears [6]. Although both examples mentioned in the article do not involve apparent gentrification, the process of losing cultural identity provides a perspective to consider homogenization.…”

“…Thus, preservation of the ancient architectures is not effective since these architectures have already lost their original meanings when the market-driven community occupies the area. In other words, the planners and developers will decide the orientation of heterogeneity according to their commercial benefits [6]. From Lefebvre's argument, the space without social context is dead and preserved as a cultural antique instead of alive culture.…”

ARTICLE DATAChina's modernization is usually involved in the discussion of ancient Chinese architecture. The possibility of urban homogenization requires city planners to consider the function transformation of ancient Chinese architectures so that an individual city may maintain its unique identity. This article classifies ancient Chinese architecture into two categories according to initial service objects, and then discusses the function transformation of ancient Chinese architecture in modern times. Finally, it refers to the interactions between diverse groups in ancient Chinese architecture after the modern transformation with spatial studies. This article adopts two research methods: document analysis and case study analysis. The research results demonstrate that ancient Chinese architectural classification without a specific condition is indiscernible. Under the guise of heterogenization, the functional transformation of ancient architectures is usually accompanied by a commercial intention. Besides, architectural studies should extend to spatial studies with fluidity.

“…In cities like LA and Chicago, income and wealth inequalities have historically contributed significantly to profound community changes (Chapple et al., 2021). Gentrification is an urban development process in which a neighborhood with historically low investment is economically and structurally revitalized through real estate development (Harrison & Jacobs, 2016). In LA, from 1990 to 2015, the number of gentrified neighborhoods increased drastically by 16% (Chapple et al., 2021; Maciag, 2015).…”

Culturally responsive evaluation (CRE) efforts highlight the significance of lived experiences of Latinx communities by honoring these voices to inform decision‐making for more equitable support systems and resources. Gentrification disrupts both the physical and social community characteristics, causing shifts in the existing collective community identity and experience. However, CRE projects provide opportunities for marginalized youth community members to engage meaningfully with and better understand these community changes. We describe three projects conducted with community‐based youth researchers in the Mexican‐American US communities of Pilsen (Chicago) and South Los Angeles, exploring community‐personal identity and relationship shifts among evaluators and youth community members. Our article concludes with lessons learned for CRE evaluators working in gentrifying communities.

“…Gentrification is the process of changing the character of a neighbourhood through the influx of more affluent residents and businesses (Lees et al 2010). Gentrification often shifts a neighbourhood's racial or ethnic composition and average household income as housing and businesses become more expensive and resources that had not been previously accessible are extended and improved (Buzar et al 2007), (Butler and Hamnett 2009), (Boterman et al 2010), (Rérat 2012), (Harrison and Jacobs 2016). Gentrification can occur as the rehabilitation of working-class or derelict housing into housing for middle-class residents or as the process of higher-income households moving into neighbourhoods that have suffered from systematic outmigration, disinvestment, or neglect (Atkinson 2002), (Wyly and Hammel 1999).…”

The principal objective of this review paper was to study the impact of gentrification phenomena in Thailand using a research methodology combining a review of the existing literature and a desk analysis of case studies, focusing on two main interconnected contributions to debates on gentrification. First, understanding gentrification phenomena by examining the existing literature required a perspective on not only gentrification but also its stages and consequences. Second, particular attention was paid to the desk analysis of case studies of gentrification phenomena in Thailand to provide an overview and critical analysis. The results of this research show that gentrification has accelerated across the globe to become a central engine of urban development. Gentrification is a complex process that has significant and multifaceted impacts on urban communities. Gentrification can have positive impacts, such as improving the urban scenery by revitalising the neighbourhood’s blighted places and raising property values by making buildings more appealing and contemporary. However, gentrification can also have negative impacts due to critical issues that are neglected such as the displacement of original inhabitants, particularly vulnerable populations; the loss of tangible and intangible cultural heritage; social inequalities; environmental vulnerability; and inappropriate land consumption. All of these factors contribute to the fact that urban development in Thailand still runs into issues or roadblocks that keep it inefficient and unable to fully accomplish the intended objectives.
