Document Summary
A disntinction btw the home, community and belonging but there s a connection between the three. Think of kits having gone through gentrification processes in the last 20 years. When considering the idea of home, think past the physical structure. Think of the wider set of relations the word community comes in here. If you buy a house, your house isn t abstracted from the world you re embedded within a community. We re not taking the usual approach to thinking about gentrification. Instead we re trying to understand the why of gentrification. We think about it in the backdrop of home, community and belonging. It s really staked on the idea of community. The idea of dwelling tends to be very abstract. It"s impossible to live in a house . home is connected to the wider community and the wider society.
