Résumé : Gale (emer., public affairs and administration, Rutgers Univ.) offers an intriguing analysis of a previously unrecognized chapter in the history of urban gentrification. He documents what he terms "embryonic gentrification," which began in the early 20th century. Misunderstanding the timing of gentrification as well as its grassroots nature, planners have identified incorrect causal explanations for this process. The book is organized into three sections; the first, and longest, provides chapter case studies of Georgetown, Greenwich Village, and Beacon Hill. A follow-up chapter on additional cities effectively argues that the three detailed examples were far from isolated attempts to restore and preserve older building stock and residential neighborhoods. However, before the 1960s term gentrification emerged, earlier efforts were understood as "remodeling," even when this activity extended beyond individual households to characterize a neighborhood. Gale reveals that people of different socioeconomic statuses engaged in gentrification before discussing the post–WW II era when federal policies provided funding to demolish and rebuild rather than restore urban decline. A new wave of gentrification repudiated this destruction but was mistakenly identified as elite. Gale establishes gentrification as a promising grassroots strategy for revitalizing urban neighborhoods.Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels. Reviewer: A. E. Krulikowski, West Chester University

Résumé : Checker (Queens College and the Graduate Center, CUNY) provides a timely work on the burgeoning literature surrounding environmental gentrification as it relates to New York City’s intent to become the world’s most sustainable metro area. A central theme of the text is a critical perspective on the hidden costs, half-truths, and contradictions behind the politics of justice. Six chapters span the book's two primary sections: "Environmental Gentrification," covering topics of green, industrial, and brown gentrification, and "The Politics of Sacrifice," covering topics of civic engagement, sustainable solidarities, and politics of disaffection. In her own words, Checker states that "the environmental justice activists in this book refuse the lull of sustainability’s false promises," and instead endeavor "to call out [its] contradictions," a struggle that "lie[s] at the heart of this book" (p. 17). The text's most redeeming quality is the author's first-person perspective and her rootedness in NYC, which affords her the most well-informed vantage point to capture various narratives and intricate details of the contentious nature of environmental gentrification in the city. Libraries with reserves focusing on environmental gentrification, urban issues, and political change should have this volume in their collection.

Résumé : At the beginning of the twenty-first century, proclamations rang out that gentrification had gone global. But what do we mean by 'gentrification' today? How can we compare 'gentrification' in New York and London with that in Shanghai, Johannesburg, Mumbai and Rio de Janeiro? This book argues that gentrification is one of the most significant and socially unjust processes affecting cities worldwide today, and one that demands renewed critical assessment.Drawing on the 'new' comparative urbanism and writings on planetary urbanization, the authors undertake a much-needed transurban analysis underpinned by a critical political economy approach. Looking beyond the usual gentrification suspects in Europe and North America to non-Western cases, from slum gentrification to mega-displacement, they show that gentrification has unfolded at a planetary scale, but it has not assumed a North to South or West to East trajectory – the story is much more complex than that. Rich with empirical detail, yet wide-ranging, Planetary Gentrification unhinges, unsettles and provincializes Western notions of urban development. It will be invaluable to students and scholars interested in the future of cities and the production of a truly global urban studies, and equally importantly to all those committed to social justice in cities.

Résumé : Margulies (Cornell Univ.), a civil rights attorney, takes on the practical issue of improving poor neighborhoods without driving out the poor. He uses Olneyville, an old industrial neighborhood in Providence, RI, that had declined into a slum, as a case study. His fieldwork shows how nonprofit-led revitalization did improve Olneyville's safety, business variety, and housing stock. As it became one of the city’s hippest neighborhoods, gentrification threatened. Margulies is extremely critical of neoliberal, for-profit housing policy. He is almost as critical of nonprofits—nearly all run by white, middle-class people from elsewhere. Though nonprofits really can improve neighborhoods, they do so with little input from, and no power to, the poor residents. Margulies’s solution: a community trust for urban land. The land remains the permanent property of the trust, but the residents—poor residents, by preference and control—own the houses the trust builds on the land. Homeowners can sell their houses like any other homeowners, and the land remains the property of the trust. This decommodification of land, coupled with intense local control, would, Margulies believes, give poor residents enough power to remain in their improved neighborhoods.

Résumé : Etude, à partir d'enquêtes menées à Montreuil-sous-Bois et à la Croix-Rousse, à Lyon, sur la transformation d'anciens logements ouvriers et de quartiers à l'image dévalorisée en lieux désirables par les gentrifieurs (dits aussi bobos) et sur leur engagement dans la vie sociale locale dans le but, souvent, de "rester bourgeois". ©Electre 2015
