Gentrification in Relation to Heritage and Displacement
In this video, we explain the concept of gentrification through its different phases, different types of gentrification and its characteristics. We place gentrification in the context of urban policy, and in a global context.
We then focus on the links between gentrification and heritage conservation, using Kota Tua in Jakarta as a case study, and on the links between gentrification and displacement, with Tarlabaşı in Istanbul as case study
