Routledge Gentrification: A Working-Class Perspective Book

Explore the deep connection between social class and urban environments with Gentrification: A Working-Class Perspective. Published by Routledge, this book examines how class dynamics shape our cities, from the ongoing housing crisis to the way urban areas are perceived by society. Rather than viewing gentrification as a simple neighborhood change, this text looks at it as a core part of modern policy. It investigates how regeneration projects are often targeted at areas that have faced disinvestment or are labeled as lacking. By focusing on the working-class experience, the book provides a necessary look at how urban development impacts different social groups. This is an essential read for students, researchers, and professionals interested in urban planning, sociology, and the social implications of city growth. It moves beyond surface-level observations to look at the systemic forces that drive urban change and the real-world impact on the people living through it.
