Gentrification

“The conversion of socially marginal and working-class areas of the city to middle-class residential use” (Zhukin, 1987)
A process which includes “(1) physical improvement of housing stock, (2) housing tenure change from renting to owning, (3) price rises, and (4) the displacement and replacement of the existing working class population by the middle classes” (Ruth Glass, 2010)

Is Revitalisation deteriorating or stimulating the process of gentrification?

Thank you for assisting us!

We are currently struggling with the revitalisation projects of 5 HK Island historical buildings. However, we heard that revitalisation have been causing gentrification issues currently.

We don't have much time left :(
