Moving Beyond Cleanup
Moving Beyond Cleanup
Identifying the Crucibles of Environmental Gentrification
This chapter explores an important implication of Tiebout's hypothesis, namely, that well-intended cleanup efforts might harm poor residents through the process of “environmental gentrification.” First, it examines the various demographic effects gentrification entails. Second, it reviews the evidence for these effects. It finds compelling support for the importance of Tiebout's mechanism and for at least some gentrification effects. This chapter suggests that price increases appear to be a more likely outcome than turnover in the racial composition of a community.
