This study examines the use of financial well-being indicators such as credit scores to identify gentrification. This study is a response to the redevelopment of neighbourhoods in the City of Toronto through gentrification. This study also explores both theoretical and analytical frameworks outlined in literature to identify correlations between financial wellbeing indicators and gentrification. Comparing the observations in this study to areas experience gentrification such as Regent Park revealed large implications that gentrification is largely associated with financial wellbeing. The study also found that the average credit scores in the City of Toronto seem to be increasing. The analysis determined that the credit score changes reflected the development in the Regent Park development zone. Key words: Gentrification, credit scores, spatial analysis, urban development

“…Gentrification research in urban Africa is uneven and mainly restricted to coastal cities. Urban areas that have received some attention include Egypt (Eldaidamony & Shetawy, 2016;Elsorady, 2018;Mahmoud, 2017), Ethiopia (Nunzio, 2022), Ghana (Twumasi & Oppong, 2016); (Cobbinah et al, 2019;Nimo-Boakye & Badu-Nuamah, 2022), Kenya (Dok, 2020), Mozambique (Roque et al, 2016;, Nigeria (Ajayi & Soyinka-Airewele, 2020;Godswill & Ukachukwu, 2018), Rwanda (Shearer, 2020), Tanzania (John et al, 2020) and Tunisia (Ben Salem, 2018). It is shown that state-led gentrification in Africa has been predominantly associated with establishing new or satellite towns at the periphery of historical areas characterised by excessive urban density.…”

Over the past five decades, a vast literature on gentrification has developed. Evidence of gentrification in South African cities has been recorded in historically White neighbourhoods or city districts. The presence of gentrification in peripheral, poor, traditionally Black townships has had very little (if any) consideration in the literature, and this investigation aims to address aspects of this scholarly oversight. The paper is set in the iconic South African township of Soweto. It is argued that the Vilakazi precinct in Orlando West is an example of tourism-led gentrification. The investigation unpacks the development and gentrification of the precinct and the range of tourism roles therein. The study found that residents’ experiences were mixed; some aspects of expanded leisure and services were seen positively, while forms of economic and social exclusion were also recorded following the literature on township tourism. This unique case study connects the Global North and South experience of tourism-led gentrification, arguing that much common ground between these regions is to be found.

“…Much research on gentrification in Africa has focused on Southern African (Visser, 2002;Visser & Kotze, 2008) and is mainly concerned with coastal settings. Other regions that have received less attention include Egypt (Eldaidamony & Shetawy, 2016;Elsorady, 2018;Mahmoud, 2017), Ethiopia (Nunzio, 2022), Ghana (Twumasi & Oppong, 2016); (Cobbinah, Amoako & Osei Asibey, 2019;Nimo-Boakye & Badu-Nuamah, 2022), Kenya (Dok, 2020), Mozambique (Roque, Mucavele & Noronha, 2016;, Nigeria (Ajayi & Soyinka-Airewele, 2020;Godswill & Ukachukwu, 2018), Rwanda (Shearer, 2020), Tanzania (John et al, 2020) and Tunisia (Ben Salem, 2018). Studies conducted outside Tanzania and South Africa have mostly focused on state-led gentrification often involving urban regeneration projects accompanied by large-scale capital investment, with little attention paid to tourism-led gentrification.…”

Gentrification and the processes underlying its origin and evolution have been the subject of extensive much research, which has suggested various explanatory mechanisms or triggers of gentrification, including the impact of tourism. The study considers the relevance of tourism-induced gentrification in urban Africa and its possible consequences for tourism development and neighbourhood change in urban areas. According to the authors, tourism-induced gentrification occurs in a small number of African urban areas and is characterised by exclusionary practices that are similar to those that can often be observed in cities of the global North. A number of research avenues are proposed that consider the role of tourism-based development in urban Africa.
