Summary:

A provocative account of what is gained and what is lost when a word that once narrowly referred to neighborhood change takes on a life all its own. Sociologist Ruth Glass coined the term gentrification in the 1960s to mark the displacement of working-class residents in London neighborhoods by the professional classes.
