Gentrification is (cid:862)the production of space for progressively more affluent users(cid:863) Encompasses much more broader and complex urban change in our time. Its instead an incremental process and slowly taking place. We think that when it happens poor people are pushed out and done. Even when high income people come in, poor people still live in. Displacement it is not just physical.
