Jan Sýkora and Maria Horňáková have a new article in the journal Social & Cultural Geography. The article is titled ‘It is natural’: sustained place attachment of long-term residents in a gentrifying Prague neighbourhood. It was written together with Kirsten Visser and Gideon Bolt from Utrecht University.
This paper examines how long-term residents of an inner-city neighbourhood in Prague undergoing residential and commercial gentrification have perceived and lived through its change. Specifically, it reveals how the ongoing changes influence residents’ place attachment.
The paper relies upon qualitative methodology using semi-structured in-depth interviews with long-term inhabitants (>20 years).
