FAQ About The Impact of Gentrification on Urban Cultural Landscapes

Can gentrification have any positive impacts on urban cultural landscapes?
While gentrification is often critiqued for its negative impacts, it can also bring some positive changes. Higher investments in infrastructure can enhance public spaces and attract resources that improve safety and services in the area. These changes can lead to increased tourism and the revitalization of certain cultural heritage sites. However, these benefits often disproportionately favor the newcomers rather than the long-standing residents, who may be pushed out.
