Gentrification definition

Very concise and useful article, I'd consider narrowing down your definition of gentrification though, since there are tons of forms of renewal/revitalization/urban displacement that wouldn't be considered as gentrification. I think its typically used to refer to market-driven neighbourhood change, where the main investment comes from the private sector vs. government implemented forms of development / planning driven processes. I'd also recommend reading some of David Ley's work on the topic, he just retired from UBC's geography department.
