FAQ About The Impact of Gentrification on Urban Cultural Landscapes

Is there a connection between gentrification and urban spatial justice?
Urban spatial justice refers to the fair and equitable distribution of spaces and resources within a city. Gentrification often exacerbates inequalities by prioritizing development for wealthier classes, overshadowing the needs of lower-income or marginalized groups. This can lead to spatial injustice, where access to housing, cultural spaces, and amenities is unequally distributed. Addressing these issues involves policies that emphasize inclusivity, affordability, and the protection of community rights in urban planning.
