"Gentrification: processes of change and exclusion in the city and the countryside" - Geography AberWorkshop
This session explores the phenomenon of gentrification. The talk begins by visiting a ‘classic’ example of gentrification (‘East Village’, New York City) and exploring the factors that led to the gentrification of the neighbourhood, as well as the role of different actors in the process. The talk then moves to explore a rural account of gentrification (Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire), exploring the motivations for moving. While both are examples of gentrification, the differences of the character of social and population changes are explored. The workshop considers the signs of gentrification, its effects, and what attributes might contribute to gentrification.
This workshop is also available through the medium of Welsh.
AberWorkshops are designed to be interactive and thought-provoking, providing valuable insight into university study and subject pathways while encouraging critical thinking and discussion.
