Abstract:
Gentrification is described as the
process of renovating and improving a house
or district so that it conforms to middle-class
taste. This renovation or development focuses
on improving the buildings or structures so that
it can draw in new, higher-paying tenants. While
this development may seem necessary, the results
produce drastic changes to neighborhoods
in which they take place. The goal of this
research is not to combat gentrification, it is to
shift the development from the building to the
individuals of a neighborhood. The strategies of
this research aim to combat the negative effects
of gentrification by fostering development and
building connection with the members of a
community.
