Displacing the "Ordinary" City

Gentrification in Medium-Sized American Metropolitan Areas

About this book

For decades, gentrification research has predominantly focused on large cities. Arguing that gentrification has occurred throughout the urban hierarchy, Ravuri fills this gap in the literature by analyzing gentrification and displacement patterns in twelve medium-sized cities, spread across the four census regions of the US.
