A new paper about gentrification in a formerly working-class neighbourhood


A new paper has been published in Population, Space and Place. The authors are Adela Petrovic and Martin Ouředníček.

The paper on the basis of detailed migration data, shows the structure of in-migration (invasion of gentrifiers) and out-migration (displacement) in Karlín during the 2010-2020 period. In contrast to many authors from CEE countries, Adela and Martin argue that in selected neighbourhoods of Prague, classical gentrification has developed instead of other inner city transformation processes. Foreigners are the main group of gentrifiers, while the Czech population has the highest out-migration rate in recent years.
