“…We feel that a series of ‘new windows’ between urban and rural studies could be opened-up through these notions of displacement. The notion of ‘displacement pressure’ quite directly connects to the ethnographic perspective outlined by Hines (2018), which, in turn, exhibits parallels to Halfacree’s (2018: 4) call for gentrification to be viewed as a ‘coping strategy’ to deal with contemporary ‘neo-liberal existence’, albeit conjoined with recognition of their impacts on other people, a call that has strong resonances with the work of Schlichtman et al (2017). The concept of displacement pressure also highlights how displacement does not necessarily involve movement of people, an argument that could be considered in relation to the literature on both ‘new-build’ and ‘green’/‘ecological’/‘low-carbon’ gentrification.…”

In response to the five commentaries on our paper ‘Comparative approaches to gentrification: lessons from the rural’, we open up more ‘windows’ on rural gentrification and its urban counterpart. First, we highlight the issues of metrocentricity and urbanormativity within gentrification studies, highlighting their employment by our commentators. Second, we consider the issue of displacement and its operation within rural space, as well as gentrification as a coping strategy for neoliberal existence and connections to more-than-human natures. Finally, we consider questions of scale, highlighting the need to avoid naturalistic conceptions of scale and arguing that attention could be paid to the role of material practices, symbolizations and lived experiences in producing scaled geographies of rural and urban gentrification.

High Point, North Carolina, once known as the “Home Furnishings Capital of the World” for its vast manufacturing complex, has suffered intense deindustrialization over the past 60 years. During this same time, however, High Point has competed with much more prominent cities to become the world's most important furniture exposition node and a major design, fashion, and merchandising center. Exploiting its inexpensive real estate—what amounts to a planetary rent gap—and its furniture design heritage, city leaders have aggressively offered the furniture world unprecedented control over its downtown landscape for the twice‐annual exposition. Over the past 35 years, however, there have also been growing efforts to combat the domination of the city by exchange value considerations privileged by outside real estate interests such as private equity firms Bain and Blackstone. This article documents, first, the loss of a resident‐centered downtown to the pursuit of exchange values and, second, the mobilizations to reclaim resident‐centered use values. As it does, it interrogates what the High Point case can teach us about the small city in the quickly transforming global context.

“…Discussion of neighbourhood change suggests gentrification has complex implications for neighbourhood communities. One reason why gentrification may be associated with higher levels of neighbourhood community is because some people seek out such neighbourhoods due to a desirable feature, such as an LGBT presence, which in turn can lead to a coalescence of community (Schlichtman et al, 2017). Gentrification may also encourage community in more subtle ways.…”

“…The effects of population turnover on neighbourhood community, whether displacement-related or not, are further complicated by changes in racial/ethnic and class diversity (Anderson, 1990; Hyra, 2017; Pattillo, 2007; Schlichtman et al, 2017; Versey, 2018). While racial/ethnic and class diversity in neighbourhoods is often heralded as a positive (Maly, 2005), doubts have been raised about how well community can be cultivated in mixed neighbourhoods (Gibbons and Yang, 2016; Neal and Neal, 2014; Putnam, 2007; Wu et al, 2011).…”

Do gentrifying neighbourhoods have less community? Evidence from Philadelphia

One of the more detrimental effects of gentrification is the potential for a decreased sense of neighbourhood community. Systematic analysis of the effect of gentrification on communities has been limited. This study investigated how an individual’s sense of connection to neighbourhood community, as measured by trust, belongingness and sense of cooperation, was influenced by their residence in a gentrifying neighbourhood. We utilised hierarchical linear models with individual data from the 2014/2015 Public Health Management Corporation’s Southeastern Pennsylvania Household Health Survey and neighbourhood data from the 2000 Decennial Census and 2010–2014 American Community Survey. We find that gentrification overall has a negative relation with neighbourhood community, but this relationship varied by the racial/ethnic turnover underlying the changes taking place in these neighbourhoods. Specifically, we find that gentrification marked by increases in Whites and decreases in non-Whites had no measurable relation with neighbourhood community; that gentrification marked by increases in non-Whites alone had a positive effect on neighbourhood community for Black and Hispanic residents; and that gentrifying neighbourhoods which experienced an increase in both Whites and non-Whites had a negative overall relation with neighbourhood community.
