Year 12 and 13 – interesting article discussing how we can identify areas of gentrification around the world.

October 4, 2016 by Mr Monteith

In both the World Cities (yr13) and Changing Places topics (yr12) we examine the issue of gentrification. This is a very interesting link discussing how you can best identity gentrified areas. It is worth exploring some of the links on the page.

Year 13- here is the link to the Los Angeles map. Which areas have gentrified? Is this evidence of reurbanisation? Will this reduce the ‘donut effect’ and prevalence of edge cities?
