  • Chapter
  • First Online:

The background is a changed geography of gentrification that is no longer limited to individual neighborhoods, but encompasses broad central areas of many cities. Urban social movements, in particular, but also some municipal governments, have put the topic of urban gentrification processes on the political agenda in recent years and are seeking suitable strategies to counter the displacement they entail.
