This article analyzes the relationship between gentrification and the economic-gastronomic landscape in two neighborhoods in downtown Mexico City. The objective is to conceptually readjust these terms and to recognize the singularities of their manifestations in Latin America. To this end, a theoretical framework is constructed that outlines the three epistemological cores for the analysis of gentrification in the region and that articulates such concept with cultural commodification and gourmetization. Through a descriptive quantitative analysis, we examine the transformation of the food landscape through the presence and diversification of gastronomic and retail businesses in the Condesa and Santa María La Ribera neighborhoods. The results show that there is a trend towards an increase in commercial activity under the model of mini-supermarkets and other businesses that diversify and, at the same time, homogenize cultural and gastronomic offerings in these neighborhoods. However, the pandemic affected these neighborhoods in a particular way: while in Condesa the proliferation of these businesses slowed down, in Santa María La Ribera they increased their presence. It is concluded that this analytical argument offers a view that can strengthen the qualitative study of the effects developed by gentrification and its consequences in other areas of urban daily life.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the different manifestations of the studentification process and its relationship with the community dimension in the René Schneider neighborhood of Talca, capital of the Maule Region (Chile), between the years 2007 and 2019. For this, conventional and participatory research techniques were applied that included observation, mapping, conducting commented tours and individual and group indepth interviews. The findings show that, as a result of certain morphological and spatial conditions of the neighborhood and the role of community networks, the physical, economic, social and cultural changes that the settlement of university students has produced in the Rene Schneider population have been reduced in their negative aspects. The community-based management of the studentization process, which translates into a process governed by the community of traditional inhabitants, constitutes a novelty in comparison to other Chilean and international case studies.

As a result of COVID-19, new dynamics emerged in many urban systems, including the acquisition and distribution of food. The pandemic revealed vulnerabilities in the functioning of facilities and intensified problems such as informality, insecurity, and immigration. In order to contribute to the identification and characterization of these dynamics within food markets, a case study methodology was adopted for this article using mixed techniques-a quantitative approach using a survey and a qualitative approach featuring a focus group. Both methods were applied in the San Roque market in the Metropolitan District of Quito, an iconic food market and distribution facility. The results highlight new commercial dynamics and preferences, as in recent years informal trade and the presence of supermarket chains have proliferated; new logistic means have been created; and wholesale trade has intensified. In addition, the pandemic accentuated the vulnerability of the market at the administrative level and the precariousness of some informal jobs, in turn, accelerated changes among traders. It is concluded that these dynamics merit new conceptual, organizational, and spatial approaches in architectural and urban terms, as well as different policies that favor the sustainable management of markets.

Agroecological and artisanal produce markets have multiplied as part of a broader process that promotes food citizenship oriented towards justice and sustainability. However, this phenomenon is immersed in the complexity of food systems and entails great heterogeneity. This article analyzes the relationship between these types of initiatives and the gentrification processes in some of the areas where they are established. The topic is approached from ethnographic material collected in the framework of a research project on agroecological production initiatives and artisanal transformation in Mexico City and on the citizens’ collectives that facilitate the commercialization of this production. The findings show that in certain areas of the city these markets shape a broader set of “alternative” food supply networks linked to gentrification processes and the findings identify some of the factors that affect the reproduction of social inequalities within the framework of these initiatives. At the same time, the study underscores the agency of the actors involved and documents their abilities to use these spaces through the growing demand for fresh, healthy, and locally-sourced food to advance their own ends in areas subject to gentrification.

This article explores the impact of the gastronomic boom on gentrification processes in Lima, Peru, during the last two decades. It is an ethnographic study conducted in 2012, 2014, and 2016 in the Santa Cruz housing development, which used to be a working-class neighborhood located in the Miraflores district. The central focus is the analysis of the personal narratives of change and belonging of residents, workers, and visitors, supported by photographic practice. In particular, it is based on the experience of Carlos, a young actor who after living several years in London returns to Peru to start a business and, taking advantage of competitive prices in Santa Cruz, opens a gourmet bakery in the neighborhood. Using the notion of “cosmopolitan imagination,” we show the different ways in which Carlos recontextualizes his experience in London in the specificity of La Mar, negotiating the limits, meanings and values of the places, people, and cultural practices that arise from inhabiting this space of change. Ultimately, Carlos’s bakery becomes a meeting point for linking or negotiating different strategies and experiences of belonging to the area, materializing power dynamics that emerge inside and outside the business, thus shaping the commodification of Santa Cruz.

The document presents a dossier on the relationship between food and gentrification in Latin America. It emphasizes the need to understand the social phenomena related to food in cities, especially in the context of gentrification. It mentions that changes in food landscapes and consumption patterns are related to the arrival of middle-class sectors and the displacement of low-income residents. The concept of "food gentrification" is also mentioned, and two related components are identified: the transformation of popular culinary practices towards sophistication and elitism, and the presence of restaurants that appeal to aesthetic and consumption values recognized by diners with high purchasing power and cultural capital. The article discusses the relationship between gentrification and food in the Latin American context, highlighting how food systems are being affected by social processes that demonstrate their exhaustion and profound reconfiguration. It also addresses the implementation of public policies in disadvantaged and ethnically diverse neighborhoods for their commercial reconversion, as well as the diversification of urban food systems and inequalities in access to certain foods. The article concludes by highlighting the importance of this topic in the context of social and environmental transformations in Latin America. [Extracted from the article]

This article analyzes the displacement of students in an elementary school after the implementation of the Full-Time Schools Program in Mexico and how this change was experienced by teachers. It is an intrinsic case study, with a qualitative approach, through participant observation and interviews with members of the school community. The results show at the local level the cycle of gentrification observed in the case study: the reinforcement of the program that improved the conditions of the school and increased its prestige in the municipality, a greater demand for admission, in which the sectors with better socioeconomic conditions mobilized various strategies to secure a place, and the ousting of the original student body. Teachers tend to normalize the displacement by pointing out the practical advantages in their daily work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to define and critically examine the concept of touristification and its socio-economic and territorial implications, particularly focusing on the Costa del Sol (Málaga, Spain). It employs the method of systematic literature review. The paper concludes that touristification is a product of the prevailing capitalist logics, of which hegemonic tourism is a further expression. Thus, contemporary tourism becomes a channel for the accumulation and reproduction of capital, entailing a process of dispossession, gentrification, and the transformation of geographic spaces to the benefit of these capitalist logics.

This article analysed the implications of gentrification processes in the historical centres of Querétaro and Campeche, Mexico, designated UNESCO World Heritage sites, and their relationship with food practices. From these case studies, we observed tourist offerings' impact on residents' daily lives, as they disrupt a set of procedures and knowledge linked to local food consumption and preparation modes. In the analysed streets, we observed how the food offerings, primarily directed at visitors, present an experience of cosmopolitanism and status focused on the global palate; consequently, the prices of ingredients and food increase, limiting accessibility for residents. The research design employed in this study to analyse gentrification and its impact on food practices was based on ethnography, a strategy derived from anthropology, where participant observation and in situ relationships with interlocutors have been fundamental.

This study analyses the process of tourist specialization that historic city centres in Western cities are experiencing, using the case of Málaga. The objective is to examine how urban regeneration policies have contributed to the touristification of space in general, and the commercial fabric in particular. In other words, this concerns their alignment with the needs and demands of tourism, which diverts the spatial regeneration from its initial goals and holds negative implications for the resident population. A methodology is used that combines spatial and statistical analysis of concentration variables, diversity, and changes in commercial uses, along with documentary review of plans and projects, especially those co-financed through European funds. The results reveal that these policies have contributed to the touristic gentrification of Málaga's Historic Centre, through a concentration of tourist businesses that has displaced traditional businesses, as well as indirectly affecting residents. These findings highlight the role of tourism in legitimizing the neoliberal management of the city, which persists despite the COVID-19 crisis. In fact, recent plans indicate an intensification and expansion of this trend into other areas of the city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The gentrification processes in the center of Madrid and surrounding districts are going through new stages, linked to the intensification of phenomena such as tourism and digital economies, that represent new battle fronts. This article explores the case of the building located on Calle Divino Pastor nr 9, in the Madrid neighborhood of Malasafia. In it, the sale and reform of an old public headquarters takes place, previously squatted and claimed as a social center, and which finally ends up converted into flats for tourist rental and a branded hamburger restaurant that only serves delivery food. In Divino Pastor, a good part of the dynamics that are marking the processes of urban transformation in advanced economies come together and play out. Starting from the same point, this case gives us the opportunity to link (1) disputes over urban space in the heart of cities with dispossession, in the framework of urban neoliberal policies, and (2) advanced processes of gentrification that worsen the problem of access to housing, with phenomena of touristification and gourmetization, more characteristic of the fifth wave, and which in turn (3) are being strongly transformed by the pressure of certain forms of what is known as platform capitalism; new forms of economy and precarious urban work, whose spatial effects collide with the lack of urban regulation tools. Methodologically, we consider this situation as a concrete universal in the Hegelian way, allowing us to understand the general from the particular, and relying on the analysis of data from official sources to contrast what we intuit are trends that came to stay.

Habitually, the concept "border" has been associated with the jurisdictional limits between modern nation-states, extremely known as "borderlands". Nevertheless, this concept has gradually diversified, to make reference to more complex situations. In this sense, the "productive frontiers" appeared, among which the agrarian, cattle rising and extractive frontiers are the ones to highlight and which are mentioned in this article. On the other hand, the emergence of new leisure activities resulted in different types of tourism, including enotourism. Likewise, the advance of the "wine frontier" grew together with tourism. Two recent cases of vine crop expansion that fostered the increase in tourism in the provinces of San Juan and Jujuy, in Argentina, were selected to show this process. In fact, both cases present similarities as regards real state valuation, firstly from the point of view of tourism increase and -secondly- from wine production expansion. All in all, the author presents the increase of land prices in dollars, the growth of the cultivated area with vines and cartographies with areas of recently planted vineyards. All this data was gathered in the field during many years of research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mass housing neighborhoods emerged in the second half of the twentieth century as an important part of the affordable social housing stock in Southern Europe, but now these are suffering from social problems and physical degradation. This article, which focuses on a case study of an archetypical transformation of a housing estate in Barcelona (Canyelles), aims at identifying the conditions needed to reduce social inequalities in this type of neighborhood and implement urban rehabilitation programs. The mixed methodology applied consisted of a combination of semi-structured interviews with the main actors involved, a focus group with the neighborhood council, and a multivariate statistical analysis of intra-urban fine-scale social indicators. Based on these methods, the urban transformation projects and their social consequences, which can be observed in the evolution of the social composition of the neighborhood, are analyzed. A significant improvement in the quality of life of the neighbors is seen as a result of the housing rehabilitation and renovation of public spaces programs. Ultimately, these changes are contributing to increasing social integration, as well as initiating a gentrification process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article provides information on the 61st Seminar of the Dominican Committee of ICOMOS, which aimed to discuss the processes of gentrification, and development in historic centers, specifically focusing on Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic, and other Caribbean cities. It mentions that the seminar featured keynote speeches by Pedro Cardona, an architect from Puerto Rico, and Sandra Mendoza Lafaurie, a historian from Colombia.

The analysis of social inequality in Spanish metropolitan areas is proposed (case studies: Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Valencia) assuming the limitations of this concept and seeking, from the data offered by official statistical sources, correlations between the demographic structure, income inequality and some booming territorial phenomena such as gentrification and touristification of cities. Likewise, the methodological challenge of combining indicators such as the Gini coefficient and the Quantile ratio is assumed, while at the level of territorial relations the application of the concept of spatial autocorrelation is tested to explain inequality, which implies the resource to the SARAR models. The results are shown in tables and discussed based on the hypotheses, ending with the conclusions and the cited bibliography. This research is expected to advance in the knowledge of inequality in metropolitan contexts and its spatial components. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The editorial article titled "Touristification and Gentrification Processes in Latin America and Spain: An Overview" explores the problems and interactions between the construction of memory, gentrification of neighborhoods, and touristification of cities in Spain and Latin America. These processes have led to changes in urban spaces, such as the implementation of leisure spaces and the massive appropriation of spaces by tourists and affluent classes. Additionally, they have generated displacements and emotional traumas in the original inhabitants. The article presents specific cases of memory sites turned into tourist destinations, such as the La Hoyada Memory Sanctuary in Peru and the Museum of Memory and Human Rights in Santiago de Chile, as well as the gentrification process in the Plaza Mayor of Los Cabos, Mexico, and the historic center of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. It also includes works on collective memory in Madrid and regional history in Latin America. [Extracted from the article]

This article studies how the processes of gentrification and touristification associated with the globalization of the economy, in the case of Madrid (Spain), has increased social inequality. It uses a mixed methodology, based on the analysis of data, the development of in-depth interviews, and historiographical revision. The research centers its attention on the transformation of Lavapiés, a central neighborhood of the city of Madrid. It focuses, on the one hand, on identifying and describing what have been the fundamental effects of these trends on the social and urban structure of the city of Madrid, and on the other hand, on exposing and analyzing what have been the main experiences and discourses created by the actors linked to the neighborhood, with respect to its transformation. These dynamics have consolidated the advance towards a model of a dual city, characterized by the polarization of its social and urban structure, formed by a wealthy north-east and a poor and vulnerable south-east.

Processes of gentrification can be seen in the historic center of Cartagena de Indias, which arise from the colonial city and the republican capital, suitable as a military fort, maritime port, railway station and cultural district. This led to the occupation of the peripheral areas and the displacement of the people who lived there to give way to walls, urban walkways, railway lines and motorized avenues. The objective of the text is to describe the processes of the urban transformation of the peripheral areas of Cartagena to consolidate the fort-city, adapted as a historic center and tourist district. To this end, the historical method is used of contrasting printed documental evidence with articles and studies on urban policies that allow the recognition of four periods of geodemographic changes. In conclusion, the current historic center has experienced the processes of the expansion of the dominant classes into the lands occupied by the popular sectors, combined with the construction of roads, the protection of walls and bulwarks, the urbanization of the nearby islands and beaches for touristic ends, as well as the sociocultural expulsion of the poorer classes from the popular sectors towards faraway places, invisible and distant from the tourists.

The text alludes to how the construction of memory about collective self-organization processes, such as expressions of resistance to the process of gentrification and touristification initiated in the center of Madrid (Spain) between 1997 and 2003 and until the present day, has generated powerful dissidence among the inhabitants. This is based on documental and iconographical material located in the archive of the Centro Social El Laboratorio, as well as in the voices found in the fabric of the community in the Lavapiés neighborhood (Madrid), in the struggle for the rights to the city, which implies a debate between tradition and modernity. This allows us to appreciate how memory in the context of a territory constructs and reconfigures based on lived experiences and conflicts, and how the memory of resistance in itself becomes a way to debate both the past and present literature regarding the territory. In this way, it is intended to problematize the ways of looking at the past, as well as the way of thinking and imagining «other» forms of social organization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The first announcement of the start of construction works of the urban renewal project "Ciudad Paraíso" in Cali, Colombia was communicated to the public in the second half of 2011, a decade later, in 2021, construction has not yet begun on private land of the new buildings that will give an urban transformation to the center of the city. During these ten years, a series of benefits and difficulties have arisen around the implementation of Ciudad Paraíso, which are generally analyzed and explained in this article from the perspective of urbanism, thus promoting a critical and reflective vision of this type of projects that are spreading throughout the large cities of Latin America.

This article is framed within the paradigm of Participatory Action Research and its main research objective was to detect and make visible potential labor and commercial links between a recently gentrified sector of the city of Córdoba (Argentina), Zona Güemes (ZG), and a neglected sector on the other side of La Cañada stream, corresponding to the Güemes, Observatorio, and Cupani neighborhoods (GOC). In a first diagnostic stage, surveys of commercial premises, and surveys and interviews with shopkeepers in ZG and inhabitants of GOC were conducted. An exploratory descriptive analysis, a multiple correspondence analysis to establish the main correlations between relevant variables, qualitative data matrices, and georeferencing were carried out to summarize and visualize the data. The findings show that there are objective and subjective conditions that allow for a dignified and adequate transference of resources between ZG traders (demanders of workers and/or providers of goods and services) and GOC neighbors (suppliers of the latter), with the potential for significant mutual gain. In this way, bridges are proposed to redistribute the benefit of the revaluation of a gentrified area to a neglected area, taking advantage of its geographical proximity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The rerouting of the M-30 urban freeway with the construction of a tunnel along the Manzanares River has allowed the creation of a new green area in the vacated space: Madrid Río. The possibility of the gentrification of nearby neighbourhoods has been repeatedly raised following the inauguration of the park in 2011. This article aims to show if the differential urban income process generated by the renewal of the infrastructure has triggered the substitution of the former residents. An analysis has been made of the sociodemographic changes and the changes in family income at block level. The results show that social changes are closely related to the characteristics of the pre-existing residential fabric, responding to broader urban processes (renovation of old industrial areas, increased multiculturalism in relation to the recent wave of immigration) rather than directly attributable effects of the rerouting of the freeway. Faced with the generalized interpretation of these processes under the gentrification narrative, the importance of the geography of the housing stock (expressed in terms of location and physical and social attributes) is decisive in finding explanatory arguments for the sociodemographic selection process.
