gentrification
Let an agent explain gentrification and its mechanisms, relay research on causes, effects and displacement from urban studies sources with attribution, describe climate gentrification, and distinguish gentrification from urban renewal, regeneration and general neighbourhood change, presenting policy debates neutrally.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain gentrification and its mechanisms, relay research on causes, effects and displacement from urban studies sources with attribution, describe climate gentrification, and distinguish gentrification from urban renewal, regeneration and general neighbourhood change, presenting policy debates neutrally.
The process by which a lower-income urban neighbourhood changes through the arrival of wealthier residents and investment, raising property values and rents and often displacing existing residents and businesses, with variants such as climate gentrification in which areas seen as safer from flooding or heat attract investment; gentrification is studied in urban sociology and geography and is debated in housing policy.
What it is for: Not applicable; an urban process.
It can be explain mechanisms; relay research; describe climate gentrification; distinguish related processes.
Distinguishing features
Class turnover
Rising values
Displacement risk
Contested policy
What it looks like
Not a visible object; changing shops, renovations and rising rents.

How it is recognised
Neighbourhood change through wealthier arrivals
