Summary:
In this book, Lance Freeman sets out to answer a seemingly simple question : how does gentrification actually affect residents of neighborhoods in transition? To find out, Freeman does what no scholar before him has done. He interviews the indigenous residents of two predominantly black neighborhoods that are in the process of gentrification: Harlem and Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. By listening closely to what people tell him, he creates a more nuanced picture of the impacts of gentrification on the perceptions, attitudes and behaviors of the people who stay in their neighborhoods. Freeman describes the theoretical and planning/policy implications of his findings, both for New York City and for any gentrifying urban area. There Goes the 'Hood provides a more complete, and complicated, understanding of the gentrification process, highlighting the reactions of long-term residents. It suggests new ways of limiting gentrification's negative effects and of creating more positive experiences for newcomers and natives alike.

Summary:
Vieillir en ville est loin d’être simple. La précarité des personnes vieillissantes, souvent dépendantes de revenus fixes ou mal indexés, s’accroît. La crise du logement et la hausse du coût de la vie les frappent durement, sans parler du manque d’accessibilité des soins à domicile, rares et souvent trop coûteux. Les politiques publiques font la promotion de leur maintien(...)

Summary:
Vieillir en ville est loin d’être simple. La précarité des personnes vieillissantes, souvent dépendantes de revenus fixes ou mal indexés, s’accroît. La crise du logement et la hausse du coût de la vie les frappent durement, sans parler du manque d’accessibilité des soins à domicile, rares et souvent trop coûteux. Les politiques publiques font la promotion de leur maintien dans leur milieu de vie et dans la communauté, mais dans les faits, les besoins restent immenses. Cet ouvrage plonge au coeur du problème en analysant la précarité résidentielle de locataires âgés de quartiers montréalais en pleine gentrification. À mi-chemin entre ouvrage anthropologique, enquête journalistique et manuel de gérontologie sociale critique, Julien Simard illustre concrètement les dynamiques d’exclusion sociale et donne à voir les tactiques de résistance et d’agentivité de ces gens qui font face à un véritable processus de mise à l’écart.

Summary:
''Urbanizing suburbia'' considers the relationship between three current processes underway in global cities: the hyper-gentrification of inner cities, the financialization of housing, and the structural changes occurring in the suburbs. The rocketing price of housing in cities around the world has led to a sizable exodus of residents from the inner cities, with many of those displaced settling in the suburban belts. This change in demographics, coupled with specific regeneration strategies implemented by municipalities, is leading to a remaking of suburbia. The book examines these changes using the examples of four key global European cities: Amsterdam, Berlin, London, and Stockholm. It is a first attempt at understanding the three processes discussed here within one comprehensive explanatory framework.
