“…206-210) identified that a significant proportion of low-income households leave the city and relocate to cities with weaker economies and a more affordable housing stock. This finding by Van Criekingen is consistent with more recent studies which stress that displaced households relocate out of the city, to the suburbs (Sink & Ceh 2011;Weller & Van Hulten 2012;Sturtevant 2014;Mah 2021;Huang & Liu 2022), and satellite towns in the metropolitan region (Hochstenbach & Musterd 2018. It is apparent that claims regarding the suburbanization of poverty generally correspond to more recent research compared with those claiming that displacees move within the surrounding area.…”

Gentrification is a process whereby neighbourhoods and their socio‐economic composition upgrade through residential moves and social mobility. Relatively little attention has been paid to the spatial aspect of gentrification‐induced residential moves. This systematic literature review focuses on the origin and destination of moves to and from gentrifying neighbourhoods, by gentrifiers (movers in) and displacees (movers out). It identifies where, when, and how such research has been conducted and highlights gaps in the literature. Our results suggest that the destination of displaced households has been studied extensively, while an understanding of the spatial origins of gentrifiers is lacking. The few studies dedicated to gentrifiers' origins mostly focus on intra‐urban environments, overlooking potential mobility dynamics from outside the city‐region. We highlight that capturing both origins and destinations of movers at different spatial scales is necessary to demonstrate how residential mobility creates interactions and demographic interdependencies between neighbourhoods and cities.

“…The social influence of gentrification-a major research topic in critical geography-has risen greatly in recent years. Increasingly, research has begun to focus on how gentrification excludes ethnic minority groups and other disadvantaged groups (Sakzlolu and Lees, 2020;Huang and Liu, 2022). Both commercial gentrification and residential gentrification are generally seen as squeezing the survival space for original residents and traditional industries by driving retail shop/house prices higher, forcing outward migration (Gonzalez and Waley, 2003;Zukin, 2008;Ferm, 2016;Song et al, 2020), and destroying the authenticity of the city (Martinez, 2016).…”

Within the Anglo-American literature, commercial, along with residential, gentrification has often been treated as an attendant neighborhood phenomenon. This study aims to uncover the distribution of areas for emerging consumption that indicate the occurrence of commercial gentrification, as well as to explain the development process and spatial correlations of commercial gentrification in Chengdu, a large Chinese city. With the data of points of interest (POIs), the study categorizes new retail places for commercial gentrification and conducts spatial and statistical analyses. The following findings are revealed: First, the distribution of new retail places changed from a monocentric to a polycentric structure in the main urban areas of Chengdu from 2010 to 2020, wherein high-density areas were partially overlapped with traditional commercial centers. Second, commercial gentrification in Chengdu was presented by the fastest growth of the entertainment services in the 2010s. Third, commercial gentrification in Chengdu shifted from a centripetal to a centrifugal development pattern from 2010 to 2020. The geographies of development were variegated, connected with multiple location attributes and impacted by local governments’ urban development strategies. Fourth, commercial gentrification was positively correlated with the growth of knowledge-intensive industries but negatively related to the change in both traditionally secondary and tertiary sectors in the past decade. Finally, changes in housing prices showed no connection with commercial gentrification during the studied period. The study suggests that commercial gentrification should be treated as a phenomenon of industrial gentrification, independent of residential gentrification. The commercial spatial planning in the city should play close attention to the synergic and exclusive relations between new retail industries and the evolution of industrial spaces in the emerging post-industrial city economy.

“…Overall, past research reveals the impact of built environment quality on RS and people's perceptions of such characteristics in the context of meeting their cognitive and emotional requirements and expectations [13][14][15][16][17]. Little research has been conducted on the relationship between these factors and mining-affected families' QoL, which is affected by resettlement as a form of compensation for their displacement to make way for large-scale mining projects [11,[18][19][20][21].…”

The effects of large-scale land acquisitions for development projects such as mining, urbanization and dams are widely contested in the literature. Prior research has focused on the difficulties that resettlement poses for the affected families in terms of their capacity to meet the demands of the new community. This study suggests that resettlement (built environment) quality may act as a predictor and influence the residential satisfaction and quality of life of project-affected families. This study investigates how residential satisfaction influences the relationship between the quality of the dwelling, the context of resettlement homes, and the quality of life of mining-affected families in Ghana. A sample of 256 household heads displaced by a large-scale mining project in Ellembelle was used to evaluate the suggested model. The findings indicate that resettlement quality greatly enhances the quality of life of the mining-affected families. The findings also revealed that residential satisfaction was a significant mediator of the quality of dwellings and the context of the resettlement, in addition to being a strong predictor of quality of life. Indirectly, resident characteristics, such as socioeconomic and demographic conditions, influenced how people felt about their homes and quality of life. These results indicate that residential satisfaction and resettlement quality are accurate indicators of the mining-affected families’ quality of life. Integrating these features make it possible to quantify the mining-affected families’ quality of life for future research and public policy.
