“…In contrast to the traditional view that gentrification primarily involves the inner city and is driven by the logic of capital flow and the role of gentrifiers, municipality‐led urban redevelopment is uncovered to be the primary form of gentrification in China (Wang & Lau, 2009). Gentrification occurred in both the central city areas and neighborhoods in the suburbs of large Chinese cities (Zhu et al., 2022). Many central city areas transformed into high‐end residential estates for international and local elites, symbolizing a “wonderland” for the benefit of the rich (Wang & Lau, 2009).…”

“…Many central city areas transformed into high‐end residential estates for international and local elites, symbolizing a “wonderland” for the benefit of the rich (Wang & Lau, 2009). Gentrification in the suburbs, reflecting a state pro‐growth agenda pursued through city expansion and industrial upgrading, attracted workers in knowledge‐oriented sectors (i.e., the finance, insurance, real estate, education, and media sectors) (Zhu et al., 2022). Gentrification in inner cities usually caused a sharp increase in land values or the demolition of old neighborhoods and thus eventually led to the relocation of original residents.…”

“…At its essence, gentrification involves the process by which residents from higher social strata displace the poorer original inhabitants of the city (Lees et al., 2010). Some scholars argue for a broader concept that does not consider central locality or displacement as definitive attributes of gentrification (Zhu et al., 2022). In contrast to the traditional view that gentrification primarily involves the inner city and is driven by the logic of capital flow and the role of gentrifiers, municipality‐led urban redevelopment is uncovered to be the primary form of gentrification in China (Wang & Lau, 2009).…”

“…Gentrification in inner cities usually caused a sharp increase in land values or the demolition of old neighborhoods and thus eventually led to the relocation of original residents. However, affordable and informal housing in gentrified peri‐urban areas may alleviate the displacement pressure of the disadvantaged residents relocated from city centers, especially migrant workers and low‐income households (Zhu et al., 2022).…”

China has experienced unprecedented economic development and urbanization in the past four decades, which has reshaped the Chinese city's physical and social landscape. This article reviews research on socio‐spatial differentiation and residential inequalities in urban China. The market transition and institutional changes have led to cities with escalating spatial divisions of socioeconomic groups since the 1990s. The legacy of a planned economy, unique socialist institutions, growing social disparities, migration, and globalization are essential mechanisms leading to the changing socio‐spatial structure of Chinese cities. Divided cities foster social inequalities by unevenly distributing opportunities and resources for education, income, health, and social networks, and, in turn, affect individual well‐being. This review concludes by calling for more theoretical development and comparative research in studies of Chinese residential inequalities and offering some suggestions for the field's future direction.

“…The concern about gentrification is that people can be displaced from their homes, culture, and livelihoods (Yang & Loopmans, 2023). It has been argued that the government's vital role is encouraging urban development while still paying attention to marginalized groups (Zhu et al, 2022). It is not always possible to achieve both aims.…”

Gentrification is a phenomenon that occurs in many regions. Gentrification is characterized by the influx of more affluent residents into initially low-value areas. This influx increases the value of these areas, potentially leading to the displacement of people who cannot afford to remain in the neighborhood. This study aims to examine the cause and impacts of peri-urban gentrification in Cisauk District, Tangerang Regency. This study uses qualitative and remote sensing-based analysis to investigate gentrification's impact on six Cisauk sub-district villages. We used primary and secondary data for the analysis. The primary data was collected from observations, interviews, questionnaires, and Google Earth Engine data catalog to get Landsat 7 and 8 image-ries. The secondary was collected from the Central Bureau of Statistics. The Landsat data was used to identi-fy the change on the physical aspect, while the others were used to analyze the non-physical aspect. After-ward, positive and negative effects were explored, emphasizing residents' responses and adaptations. The re-sults showed that Cisauk Subdistrict faced a gentrification process driven by locational factors (i.e., proximity to toll road) and local government policies (i.e., spatial planning policy designating it as a high-density residential area). The positive impact of the gentrified area is that the region is developing economically much better, and many areas function better economically and so benefit the region and its people. On the other hand, the negative impacts of gentrified areas are that indigenous people are threatened with being forced to leave their villages, there are significant increases in land prices, and changes in people's social lives occur. To minimize the negative impact of gentrification, the government should promote the capacity of low-income households to access its benefits.
