District leaders, including Delegate Walter Fauntroy and future councilmember Nadine Winter, succeeded in launching a program to match the District’s available housing supply with the demand for shelter. There also was a significant demand for safe, decent, and affordable housing. In the early 1970s there were more than 10,000 vacant and abandoned homes in Washington. We conclude that revanchist urbanism has, to a considerable extent, formed urban development in Taipei during the last quarter century, and that unless democratising forces tame the power of finance and property capital, effectively claiming the right to the city, urban improvements by progressive movements will be valorised by the architects of revanchist urban-ism: finance and property capital.
We investigate manifestations of Atkinson's four analytical strands of revanchist urbanism in Taipei. The analysis relates national and urban politics to gentrification of the Yongkang, Qingtian, Wenzhou and Huaguang neighbourhoods in Daan District, Taipei. In this paper we ask to what extent gentrification and revanchist urbanism are relevant concepts for understanding processes of urban restructuring in this East Asian developmental state capital city. In recent decades, Taipei has experienced a shift in economic base, massive urban renewal, neolib-eral reforms and associated social polarisation.

Using data from the United States Decennial Census, American Community Survey, public residential sales transaction records, and real estate listings, this article sheds light on the landscape of super-gentrification and how to identify it with a quantitative analysis of changes in income, demographics, and housing affordability in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York since 1970.Īs policy and theory travel, comparative urbanism becomes important to address questions concerning if and how gentrification and revanchist urbanism have 'gone South', or 'gone East'. Despite the attention policy makers, urban planners, and the media are paying to the “middle class squeeze,” few quantitative studies of super-gentrification exist. Super-gentrification entails the further upscaling of already gentrified neighborhoods with the in-migration of upper-income residents and displacement of middle class residents, many of whom were among the initial gentrifiers. According to Lees (2003), a new form of gentrification-super-gentrification-has emerged with the expansion of global finance capital. Studies of classical gentrification typically focus on the embourgeoisement of neighborhoods and displacement of marginalized people. Overall, the research outputs suggest the need for extensive land reform and bottom-up approach should be taken into consideration. Based on evaluation and qualitative description of observations the thesis concludes that the low-income groups in Addis Ababa are highly marginalized and affected by gentrification and domicide. By reviewing previous researches in the topic and carrying out qualitative semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions, this thesis exposes the ongoing gentrification and domicide. In this research, therefore, I will try to investigate the implications of the government housing program on the lives of the inner city Addis Ababa residents. Therefore, the majority poor low-income groups are easily being displaced from their old innercity neighborhoods and the wealthy investors and well-connected people enjoy these land and better infrastructures. In Addis Ababa both the government and the rich elites are the gentrifiers for renewal/redevelopment program and facilitating investment. The increasing influence of neoliberal policies on the Ethiopian land-market has made displacement and gentrification an imposing obstacle in the development of Addis Ababa. Because the powerful actors see there is potential yield, and say if we push these people aside and put on a built environment where these people can use the place there is a lot of wealth in there. This is a very powerful primary influence for processes of gentrification and domicide. The political economy and its basis operate where there is private ownership of major production on land and rent-seeking behavior of the capital and social.
Gentrification is a process of neighborhood change where the low-income group is displaced to leave the space for middle or high income residents or investors, whereas domicide is the killing of homes.
