From the Paper:

"Many processes determine the way that cities are shaped. One of the most important processes in recent years is known as gentrification. In "Gentrification and Displacement: New York City in the 1990s" Frank Branconi and Lance Freeman state, "During the past several decades, neighbourhoods in a number of cities have experienced gentrification-a dramatic shift in their demographic composition toward better educated and more affluent residents" (Branconi and Freeman 39). Gentrification is not a single process but a number of processes that involve demographics, economics and ideology. The end result of these processes is a neighbourhood that does not resemble the neighbourhoods that were originally there."
